There have been some studies on the relationship between tension-type headache (TTH) and physical activity. However, most previous studies were not prospective and assessed physical activity by questionnaire. Therefore, this study was aimed to investigate the relationship between TTH intensity and physical activity prospectively utilizing computerized ecological momentary assessment and actigraphy. Thirty-one TTH patients wore watch-type computers equipped with actigraphy inside for 1 week to record momentary headache intensity and physical activity. Multilevel modelling was used to investigate the effect of headache intensity on the simultaneous and subsequent activity level. There were significant negative associations between headache intensity and the simultaneous and subsequent activity level, and activity level was significantly reduced at headache exacerbations. These results provide objective and quantitative evidence suggesting that TTH negatively affects physical activity.
关于紧张型头痛（TTH）与身体活动之间的关系已有一些研究。然而，大多数先前的研究并非前瞻性研究，且通过问卷调查来评估身体活动。因此，本研究旨在利用计算机化生态瞬时评估和活动记录仪前瞻性地调查TTH强度与身体活动之间的关系。31名TTH患者佩戴内置活动记录仪的手表式计算机1周，以记录瞬时头痛强度和身体活动。采用多水平模型来研究头痛强度对同时及随后活动水平的影响。头痛强度与同时及随后的活动水平之间存在显著的负相关，且在头痛加重时活动水平显著降低。这些结果提供了客观和定量的证据，表明TTH对身体活动有负面影响。
