Abstract
SYNOPSISElectromyographic (EMG) biofeedback is frequently used as the behavioral therapy of choice to reduce the severity of tension headache. In this review, it becomes evident that despite biofeedback's widespread use, other behavioral therapies which are not as hardware‐dependent are as effective as biofeedback training in relieving headache pain. In addition, several theoretical concerns are raised here since the assumptions upon which EMG biofeedback therapy is justified may not be valid. Finally, recommendations for dealing with tension headache are made, based on the evidence provided by studies of behavioral intervention therapies.
