Biofeedback Therapy
for Tension Headache
A technique using electronic monitoring devices to teach patients to consciously control physiological processes — particularly muscle tension and skin temperature — to prevent tension headaches.
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.
What to watch for
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.
