Yet, the complex nature of headache, sometimes characterized by symptoms of facilitated central pain mechanisms, demands an individualized approach in which therapeutic patient education could be supportive. This scoping review aimed to summarize the position of therapeutic patient education within the physiotherapy management of adults with headache. PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched. The search-query comprised terminology relating to “headache”, “education”, and “physiotherapy”. Eligibility criteria were: adults with headache, interventions including education within the domain of physiotherapy, reviews, clinical trials, cohort, case report, case–control studies.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Recent Findings</h3><p>Eleven publications were included from the 281 retrieved publications. These publications were clinical trials (<i>n</i> = 4), reviews (<i>n</i> = 4), case-reports (<i>n</i> = 2), and a guideline (<i>n</i> = 1). Type of headaches studied were migraine (<i>n</i> = 3), post-traumatic headache (<i>n</i> = 2), tension-type headache (<i>n</i> = 2), cervicogenic headache (<i>n</i> = 1), primary headaches (<i>n</i> = 1), chronic daily headache (<i>n</i> = 1), and mixed migraine-cervicogenic headache (<i>n</i> = 1). Education seems an umbrella-term for postural education, lifestyle advice, and pain education. Three themes emerged across the publications: handling headache triggers (migraine, post-traumatic headache), promoting active lifestyle (post-traumatic headache, chronic daily headache, migraine), evaluating posture (post-traumatic headache, chronic daily headache, tension-type headache, cervicogenic headache). All publications recommended education in the management of headache. Only one (of the 11 included) publication described the educational program and determined its efficacy.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Summary</h3><p>Based on this scoping review, therapeutic patient education seems supported within physiotherapy management of headache.
