It occurs as (a tight band like pressure or non- pulsating like pain). There is also an increased risk of depression in CTTH. The pathogenesis of TTH is multifactorial and varies between forms and individuals. Peripheral mechanisms (myofascial, nociception) and central mechanisms (sensitization & inadequate endogenous pain control) are intermingled combination of drug therapies and non-drug therapies (such as progressive muscle relaxation techniques) is recommended.
