Abstract

Objective: This systematic review aims to examine effects of nonpharmacologic treatment options for pediatric tension-type headache patients as well as evaluate current results from these treatment options. Background: Headache is a worldwide problem among both adults and children, with tension-type headache among the most common. Methods: Eighteen relevant studies were found using PubMed and evaluated in this review. These include therapy programs, biofeedback, alternative medicine, strength exercise, physical therapy, mindfulness therapy, and psychotherapy. Results: Several nonpharmacologic treatment methods showed improvement in pediatric headache patients, with few reported adverse effects. This suggests that nonpharmacologic treatment is safe for use and might have an effect in most cases. Conclusion: No single intervention has been proven superior to another, and some studies would need replication with a control group to confirm the findings. This study illustrates the variety of nonpharmacologic treatment options and the importance of future research on this topic.

小儿紧张型头痛患者的非药物治疗选择：系统回顾

目的：本系统综述旨在研究针对小儿紧张型头痛患者的非药物治疗方案的效果，并评估这些治疗方案的当前效果。背景：头痛是困扰成人和儿童的全球性问题，其中紧张型头痛最为常见。研究方法通过 PubMed 找到了 18 项相关研究，并在本综述中进行了评估。这些研究包括治疗方案、生物反馈疗法、替代疗法、力量锻炼、物理疗法、正念疗法和心理疗法。研究结果几种非药物治疗方法都显示儿科头痛患者的病情有所改善，且很少有不良反应的报道。这表明非药物治疗是安全的，在大多数情况下都可能产生效果。结论没有任何一种干预方法被证明优于另一种干预方法，有些研究需要与对照组进行重复，以确认研究结果。这项研究说明了非药物治疗方法的多样性以及未来对这一主题进行研究的重要性。
