There is no direct relationship between tension headache and cerebrovascular disease in the literature, and tension headache is currently thought to be associated with abnormal neuromuscular pain perception.
Tension headache is also known as muscle contraction headache, stress headache and so on. Its etiology is still unclear, the pathogenesis of tension headache may be related to involuntary contraction of head and neck muscles, scalp artery contraction resulting in ischemia, local ischemia of the scalp, local myofascial trigger point abnormalities, etc., but there is no literature pointing out that tension headache is related to cerebrovascular disease.
Tension-type headache mainly manifests as bilateral, occipitocervical, temporal or frontal pressure, tightness, swelling or dull pain, without nausea and vomiting. Tension headaches can be treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic drugs such as ibuprofen and aspirin.
Prolonged tension headache is recommended to go to the hospital promptly. The above drugs need to be used under the guidance of clinicians, and unauthorized use of drugs is prohibited.
