Treatment

Most intermittent tension-type headaches are easily treated with over-the-counter medications, including:

Aspirin
Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others)
Acetaminophen (Tylenol, others)
Daily prescription medications, including tricyclic antidepressants, may manage tension-type headaches. Medications combined with behavior therapies may be more effective.

In addition, alternative therapies aimed at stress reduction may help. They include:

Meditation
Relaxation training
Cognitive behavioral therapy
Biofeedback
Massage and gentle neck stretches
Heat therapy (warm compress or shower)
