Tension headaches, also known as stress headaches, are common types of headaches that are characterized by mild to moderate pain, tightness, and pressure in the head, neck, and shoulders. While tension headache is the most commonly used term, there are several synonyms that describe the same condition. These include muscle contraction headaches, occipital headaches, stress-related headaches, and cervicogenic headaches. Each of these terms refers to headaches that are caused by muscle tension, stress, or tightness in the neck and head area. Regardless of the term used, tension headaches can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers, massage therapy, stress reduction techniques, and lifestyle changes.
