A naturalistic study of the relationships among electromyographic activity, psychological stress, and pain in ambulatory tension-type headache patients and headache-free controls
Twelve subjects who met diagnostic criteria for episodic tension-type headache and nine subjects who rarely or never suffered from headaches wore a computer-controlled electromyographic (EMG) activity recorder in their natural environment for 48 to 96 consecutive hours.
