Abstract: Tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common form of primary headache, often characterized by a dull, aching pain and a sensation of pressure across the forehead or the back of the head and neck. This research aims to explore the causes, symptoms, and prevalence of tension headaches, along with their impact on quality of life1. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 92 individuals aged 16–65 years, selected using a stratified random sampling method. Participants with a history of migraine, cluster headaches, neurological disorders, or chronic medication use were excluded. Data collection involved self-reported questionnaires and clinical assessments. Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson’s correlation and multiple regression models to assess associations between lifestyle factors—such as stress, posture, and sleep disorders—and the frequency and severity of TTH. The findings highlight significant correlations between these factors, emphasizing the need for lifestyle modifications in managing tension headaches2.
