How it works
Biofeedback trains patients to recognise and reduce excessive pericranial muscle tension (the primary peripheral driver of tension headache) and sympathetic arousal through real-time feedback.
Requires access to a trained therapist or dedicated hardware. Benefits persist after training ends — unlike medication, it addresses the underlying neuromuscular pattern. Home devices are now increasingly available.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
