Summary
The aim is to investigate muscle soreness and stiffness in patients with Chronic or Frequent Episodic Tension Type Headache before and after treatment with amitriptyline - and to compare the results with healthy individuals.
Detailed description
The muscle stiffness is measured with ultrasonic shear wave elastography in m. masseter, m. sternocleidomastoid and m. Trapezius. The muscle soreness is measured by palpation of the muscles aided by a so called palpometer.
