Pressure on Myofascial Trigger Points Reproduces Migraine and Tension Type Headache Phenotypes in Persistent Post-traumatic Headache: Implications of Physical Findings on the Physiology and Diagnosis of Headache Disorders (P6-12.007)

This study investigates whether physically examining the muscles of the head and neck with manual pressure - the Myofascial Exam (MFE) - can provoke and reproduce Persistent Post Traumatic Headache (PPTH) pain phenotypes and discusses the implications of these findings.
