Purpose: This study investigated the effect of myofascial release in relieving the symptoms of Chronic TensionType Headache (CTTH) Methods: The study used a convenience sampling pretest-post test design. 31 people (7men and 24 women, age range 18-58 years, mean age 32 years) with CTTH participated in the study. The headachesample was screened for MTrP in the cranial and pericranial muscles and was treated with myofascial releasetherapy. The outcomes were measured in terms of the number of headache days in a week and the headache painlevel measured in visual analog scale (VAS). Analysis: The analysis was done using paired ‘t’ test at 95%confidence interval Results: The study showed significant improvements in reduction of the number of headachedays (p < 0.001) and the headache pain level (p < 0.001) following treatment. Conclusion and Implications:Myofascial release therapy to the trigger points in people with CTTH has a positive influence in decreasing painintensity and frequency in CTTH sufferers. In future, during management of CTTH screening for myofascialtrigger points and concomitant treatment using myofascial release could be considered.
