Abstract(s)

Eight patients with tension headache were treated with biofeedback of frontalis E.M.G., four in a true and four in a false condition. Results showed that true biofeedback is more effective than false in lawering frontalis muscle tenson; however, both conditions reduced headache indexes which shows the lack of relationship between muscle tension and clinical simptoms. Other implications are discussed.
