Key Points: 
  • The most common primary headaches are tension-type headaches and migraines.
  • While these headaches are typically associated with stress and muscle tension, their exact origin is not fully understood.

  • "Therefore, treatments that target the neck muscles could lead to a simultaneous relief of neck pain, as well as headache."
