A study of tension-type headache and related factors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study is looking at tension-type headaches—the most common type of headache. It aims to understand how common they are and what factors are associated with them in people visiting Assiut University Hospitals. If you have frequent headaches, this study may help identify ways to better manage or prevent them.
