Chronic headaches in adolescents can have consequences such as absence from school, inability to maintain social activities, and additional disorders such as anxiety, depression, problems sleeping, and reduced quality of life to investigates the efficacy shock wave diathermy on tension headaches in adolescent females
The prevalence of headaches increases with age, with a prevalence of 82% during adolescence. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy could reduce the pain of myofascial pain syndrome by pain signal alteration, promoting angiogenesis and increasing perfusion in ischemic tissues induced by sensitization of nociceptors and muscle ischemia

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| digital algometer | Measure pain intensity pre and post treatment which tested the pain points of the muscles: upper trapezius, levator scapula, sternocleidomastoid, splenius head and neck bilaterally. | The evaluation took place before and after 8 treatment visits using the positional inhibition technique. The treatment was carried out for 4 weeks, 2x a week, lasting 45 to 60 minutes each session. |
| Electromyography (EMG) for neck muscles | Measure muscle activity pre and post treatmentupper trapezius, levator scapula, sternocleidomastoid, splenius head and neck bilaterally | The evaluation took place before and after 8 treatment visits using the positional inhibition technique. The treatment was carried out for 4 weeks, 2x a week, lasting 45 to 60 minutes each session. |
| Headache impact test questionnaire | The evaluation took place before and after 8 treatment visits using the positional inhibition technique. The treatment was carried out for 4 weeks, 2x a week, lasting 45 to 60 minutes each session. | The treatment was carried out for 4 weeks, 2x a week, lasting 45 to 60 minutes each session. |
