ABSTRACT
Muscle contraction headache usually can be correctly diagnosed on the basis of a thorough patient history and physical examination, although diagnostic tests may be necessary to exclude structural or inflammatory disease. Often, symptoms are directly related to emotional conflicts. In most cases, the primary care physician can provide treatment, which includes understanding and emotional support. Pharmacologic therapy and biofeedback are effective in controlling symptoms. Depression should be suspected in patients with chronic headache. Referral for neurologic or psychiatric consultation should be considered if the diagnosis is unclear or therapy is unsatisfactory.
