Abstract
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: To determine the clinical effectiveness of psychological therapy for adults with frequent episodic or chronic tension‐type headache compared with medical or physical treatments, placebo, usual care or waiting list controls. Where psychological therapies are delivered in combination with other therapies (such as physical therapy or pharmacotherapy) but where the psychological therapy is a central component, we will examine whether such combination therapies are effective.
