  • Objective and Background:

    The prevalence rate of headache is 69% (in male) and 88% (in females). This prevalence rate reduces at the age of 50, and this reduction continues in next decades of life. The objective of this survey is the comparison between efficacy and effectiveness rate of two therapeutic approaches (and pharmacotherapy) for tension headache treatment.

    Methods:

    In this investigation, 30 persons from patients with chronic tension headache complaint in Ardebil hospitals were selected randomly. These 30 patients were appointed in two tests group and one control group. The patients in first and second group received and pharmacotherapy respectively. The third groups testable were taken for control group and received no intervention. Indices of headache were been evaluated in 3 stages with using of headache diary tool for all of testable, collected Data were analyzed with inferential statistical methods and LSD pair corporations.

    Findings:

    Obtained data from ANOVA methods, showed that both two studied methods are effective in treatment of chronic tension headache, but comparison between two groups showed that the groups have received have significant differences with group received pharmacotherapy, for purpose of efficacy rate on duration of headache symptom. In other indices of headache there is no significant difference between these two groups.

    Conclusion:

    This study showed that efficacy rate of stress inoculation training is more than efficacy rate of pharmacotherapy in treatment of tension headache

  • Summary

    Evaluation of the headache patient begins with the historical exam. Physical findings of concern associated with the headache include: unequal weakness; generalized malaise and inability to ambulate; fevers; neck stiffness; and unequal pupils. Primary causes for the headache include tension headache, migraine, cluster and caffeine withdrawal, and the secondary causes include infection, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), eye complaints, and tumors. Secondary headache is tending to improve as underlying cause of the headache is treated. This chapter presents a review of the common treatment options for the management of headache in the EMS environment. These include inhaled oxygen, anti-emetics, opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), and analgesics. EMS providers must have a heightened level of concern for the causes of headache requiring emergent treatment. The area of headache evaluation and management in the EMS environment needs further study.
