Introduction to Tension Headaches

Tension headaches are a common type of headache that affect millions of people worldwide. These headaches are generally characterized by a dull, aching pain that often feels like a tight band around the head. Unlike migraines, tension headaches are not usually accompanied by nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light and sound. Tension headaches can vary in intensity and frequency, with some individuals experiencing them occasionally and others experiencing them on a more frequent basis.
