Forty-eight female patients with chronic tension headache were randomized into two treatment groups--acupuncture and physiotherapy. The patients were examined using oculomotor tests. Intensity of the headache and tenderness of the trapezius muscles were assessed in accordance with graded scales. The mean velocity gain for smooth pursuit eye movements improved for all target velocities both in the physiotherapy group and in the acupuncture group. The latency was reduced for all three gaze angles in the physiotherapy group while no improvement occurred in the acupuncture group. There was a reduction of headache intensity in both groups while tenderness of the trapezius muscles was reduced in the physiotherapy group but unchanged in the acupuncture group. A significant correlation was found between average of the mean velocity gain and tenderness of the trapezius muscles.
48名患有慢性紧张性头痛的女性患者被随机分为两个治疗组——针灸组和理疗组。使用眼动测试对患者进行检查。根据分级量表评估头痛强度和斜方肌压痛情况。理疗组和针灸组在所有目标速度下，平稳跟踪眼球运动的平均速度增益均有所改善。理疗组在所有三个注视角度下潜伏期均缩短，而针灸组无改善。两组头痛强度均降低，理疗组斜方肌压痛减轻，针灸组则无变化。发现平均速度增益平均值与斜方肌压痛之间存在显著相关性。
