Abstract
This study investigates the effectiveness of myofascial trigger point massage in alleviating tension headaches among school children in Hoshiarpur, Punjab. Sixty children from selected schools in the district were divided into experimental and control groups. Their pre-test levels of pain were assessed using a criterion measure ranging from no pain to worst pain. The experimental group received myofascial trigger point massage intervention, while the control group received no intervention. Pre-test and post-test levels of pain were measured for both groups. Results indicate that before the intervention, most children experienced moderate to severe pain. The analysis of mean pre-test and post-test pain levels will provide insights into the efficacy of the intervention. This study contributes to the literature on pediatric headache management and provides valuable information for healthcare professionals and policymakers aiming to enhance the well-being of school children in the region.
