الملخص EN
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the court-type traditional Thai massage (CTTM) to treat patients with chronic tension-type headaches (CTTHs) comparing with amitriptyline taking.
A randomized controlled trial was conducted.
Sixty patients diagnosed with CTTH were equally divided into a treatment and a control group.
The treatment group received a 45-minute course of CTTM twice per week lasting 4 weeks while the control group was prescribed 25 mg of amitriptyline once a day before bedtime lasting 4 weeks.
Outcome measures were evaluated in week 2, week 4 and followed up in week 6 consisting of visual analog scale (VAS), tissue hardness, pressure pain threshold (PPT), and heart rate variability (HRV).
The results demonstrated a significant decrease in VAS pain intensity for the CTTM group at different assessment time points while a significant difference occurred in within-group and between-group comparison (P < 0.05) for each evaluated measure.
Moreover, the tissue hardness of the CTTM group was significantly lower than the control group at week 4 (P < 0.05).
The PPT and HRV of the CTTM group were significantly increased (P < 0.05).
CTTM could be an alternative therapy for treatment of patients with CTTHs.
