Tension headache is a frequently encountered symptom. The skills of the family physician make him or her ideally suited to assess and manage the patient with this problem. Diagnosis depends on a thorough understanding of the nature and 'life-history' of the headache as well as knowledge of the patient as an individual and as part of his or her family and social environment. Management requires a holistic ongoing approach, employing a judicious combination of medication and physical therapy. Above all, the physician must help the patient develop different ways of dealing with anxiety and conflict.
紧张性头痛是一种常见的症状。家庭医生的技能使他或她非常适合评估和管理患有这种问题的患者。诊断取决于对头痛的性质和“生活史”的透彻了解，以及对患者作为个体以及作为其家庭和社会环境一部分的了解。管理需要采用整体的持续方法，明智地结合药物治疗和物理治疗。最重要的是，医生必须帮助患者学会用不同的方法来应对焦虑和冲突。
