SYNOPSIS Frontalis EMG, headache pain ratings, and psychological measures of personality and physical‐emotional symptom complaints were obtained from female tension headache patients. Whereas there was no relationship between EMG and headache pain measures, personality factors were significantly associated with patient pain ratings. Physical‐emotional symptom complaints were significantly related to frontalis EMG, consistent with the notion of a psychological component to tension headache.
