Summary

Tension-type headaches, characterized by a dull, aching head pain, are one of the most prevalent forms of headache disorders worldwide. Although they are typically not associated with severe disability or neurological symptoms, they can significantly impact an individual's quality of life due to chronic pain and discomfort. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as manual therapy techniques, have gained prominence in headache management, offering potential relief and functional improvements for patients. This study aims to investigate the comparative effectiveness of two widely used manual therapy approaches, Mulligan mobilization and Active Release Technique (ART), in alleviating pain, reducing disability, and enhancing range of motion (ROM) in patients suffering from tension-type headaches. Understanding which technique offers superior outcomes is vital for optimizing headache management strategies.
