从 20 名患有阵发性紧张型头痛 (TTH) 的受试者中获得了压痛阈值和对疼痛性机械刺激的反应。研究了颞肌和斜方肌的压痛点，以及两个非压痛点，一个在颞肌，一个在跟腱。进行了两次检查，一次在头痛期间，另一次没有头痛，并对结果进行了比较。对于任何测试点，任一变量均未发现显着差异。数据表明，这些点的敏感度水平不会因 TTH 的存在或不存在而有所不同。这表明 TTH 中的肌肉敏感性是恒定的。压痛点和非压痛点的敏感性水平没有变化的观察结果表明，TTH 的潜在机制或作用并不限于压痛点肌肉。
Pressure pain thresholds and responses to painful mechanical stimuli were obtained from 20 subjects with episodic tension-type headaches (TTH). Tender points in the temporalis and trapezius muscles were studied, along with two nontender points, one in the temporalis and one on the Achilles tendon. Two examinations were performed, one during and one without a headache, and results were compared. No significant differences were found in either variable for any tested points. The data demonstrate that the sensitivity level of these points does not differ based on the presence or absence of TTH. This suggests that the muscle sensitivity in TTH is constant. The observation that the sensitivity levels of both tender and nontender points did not vary suggests that the underlying mechanism or effect of TTH is not restricted to tender muscles.
