Abstract

The aim of study was compared with the possible role of cranial artery in headache pathogenesis each 2 group (group I : ultrasound therapy alone, group II : myofascial release therapy alone)- divided each 5 tension- type headache patients. Each group were applied ultrasound therapy for 5 minuets and myofascial release therapy for 15 minuets in occipital portion. The study carried out to determine the effects of ultrasound and myofascial release on the cranial arteries velocity from November 11, 2001 to March 29, 2002 the objects were 10 patients who having the tension-type headache at H-hospital. Transcranial doppler ultrasonograpy(TCD) is new non-invasive applicable method to evaluate flow velocities of intrans cranial and extracranial cerebral arteries. TCD was peformed with standard method to measure the Mean Flow Velocity(MFV) of the middle and posterior cerebral arteries, the vertebral arteries.
