Commonly used drugs for treating tension headache include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and tricyclic antidepressants. 1. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: mostly used in acute attacks of tension headache, can choose acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen and so on. Oral administration is the mainstay. Use each analgesic for no more than 14 days per month to avoid causing the development of rebound headaches. If it is difficult to relieve the headache with short-term medication, consider preventive medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants. 2. Tricyclic antidepressants: for preventive use, generally used in patients with chronic tension headache, such as amitriptyline. If tension headache occurs, should go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor for treatment.
