The effect of myofascial release and microwave diathermy combined with acupuncture versus acupuncture therapy in tension ‐type headache patients: A pragmatic randomized controlled trial

In conclusion, patients with TTH headache were benefited from acupuncture and stretching but further PPT improvements were evidenced when physiotherapy hands‐on techniques were added. In clinical terms, the combination of physiotherapy in the form of myofascial release and microwave diathermy with acupuncture and stretching in order to improve the analgesic effect (PPT) is strongly recommended.
