CRD SUMMARY: This review found that biofeedback provided significant relief of headache symptoms compared with the pre-treatment state, but was not significantly more effective than drug therapy, physical therapy or cognitive therapy. The lack of evidence for superior efficacy over other treatments limits the reliability of the authors’ conclusion that biofeedback constituted an evidence-based treatment for tension-type headache.
