Chronic tension-type headache is a daily or continuous headache, which may have some variability in the intensity of the pain during a 24-hour cycle. It is always present . Diagnosis is based on history and clinical examination. Neurological status is normal. Chronic TTH is treated with amitriptyline, flupenthixol, doxepin alone or combined with a muscle relaxant or tizanidine.
