The tension type headache is the most common headache type, which many men and women suffer from in one period of their life and aggravates business productivity, family and social functioning. Quality of life estimation in patients suffering from tension type headache enables us to get a better insight into the impact of the disease on the patient. The comparison among the quality of life in the patients suffering from tension type headache and the quality of life in the control group subjects has been carried out in a research by applying the QVM questionnaire. The obtained results have shown a significant difference in the quality of life and its sub domains indicating worse quality in the patients suffering from tension type headache.
