Journal ArticleDOI
Trigger points in the suboccipital muscles and forward head posture in tension-type headache.
César Fernández-de-las-Peñas,Cristina Alonso-Blanco,María L. Cuadrado,Robert D. Gerwin,Juan A. Pareja +4 more
TL;DR: To assess the presence of trigger points in the suboccipital muscles and forward head posture in subjects with chronic tension‐type headache and in healthy subjects, and to evaluate the relationship of TrPs and FHP with headache intensity, duration, and frequency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forward head posture and neck mobility in chronic tension‐type headache: a blinded, controlled study
TL;DR: A negative correlation was found between the craniovertebral angle and headache frequency, but neck mobility did not correlate with headache parameters, and further research is needed to define a potential role of FHP and restricted neck mobility in the origin or maintenance of TTH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myofascial trigger points and their relationship to headache clinical parameters in chronic tension-type headache.
César Fernández-de-las-Peñas,Cristina Alonso-Blanco,María L. Cuadrado,Robert D. Gerwin,Juan A. Pareja +4 more
TL;DR: To assess the presence of trigger points in several head and neck muscles in subjects with chronic tension‐type headache and in healthy subjects and to evaluate the relationship of these TrPs with forward head posture, headache intensity, duration, and frequency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myofascial trigger points in subjects presenting with mechanical neck pain: a blinded, controlled study.
TL;DR: Differences in the differences in the presence of myofascial trigger points (TrPs) in the upper trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, levator scapulae and suboccipital muscles between patients presenting with mechanical neck pain and control healthy subjects were significant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of neck and low back pain in community-dwelling adults in Spain: a population-based national study.
César Fernández-de-las-Peñas,Valentín Hernández-Barrera,Cristina Alonso-Blanco,Domingo Palacios-Ceña,Pilar Carrasco-Garrido,Silvia Jiménez-Sánchez,Rodrigo Jiménez-García +6 more
TL;DR: This Spanish population-based survey showed that neck and low back pain are prevalent and highly associated between them, more frequent in female (particularly neck pain) and associated to worse self-reported health status.
