ABSTRACT

The review shows the relationship between tension-type headache (THT) and insomnia. The pathophysiological and psychological mechanisms of their mutual influence on each other are considered. Evidence is provided that the combination of these pathologies often leads to the development of maladaptive coping strategies that aggravate the patient's condition. The features and difficulties of therapy of patients suffering from TTH and insomnia are considered in detail. It has been shown that the treatment of such patients should include approaches aimed at stopping TTH, sleep disorders and associated emotional disorders using drug and non-drug methods of treatment.
