This study is to investigate the effect of Body Awareness Therapy (BAT) and Aerobic Exercises on pain and quality of life in patients with Tension-Type Headache (TTH).
Sixty individuals with TTH diagnosis who referred Neurologist were incorporated into study. The individuals were randomly grouped into 3 as BAT (n=20), aerobic exercise (n=20) and control group (n=20). Pain severity of the individuals was evaluated by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and pain diary, disability with ache; by Pain Disability Index (PDI) and Headache Impact Tests (HIT) and quality of life was evaluated by SF-36. Subsequent to first assessments, 3 sessions of 60 minutes per week throughout 6 weeks totally.
When the groups were compared at the end of the study, a significant decrease was observed in VAS, PDI and HIT values in the individuals in the BAT and aerobic exercise groups. With the individuals in group BAT and aerobic exercise all parameters of quality of life were observed to be increased significantly.
BAT and aerobic exercise programs to be applied on TTH patients were concluded to be important in decreasing the pain, in increasing the quality of life and in reducing pain-related daily constraints of the individuals.
本研究旨在探讨身体觉知疗法（BAT）和有氧运动对紧张型头痛（TTH）患者疼痛及生活质量的影响。
将60名被诊断为紧张型头痛且转诊至神经科医生处的个体纳入研究。这些个体被随机分为3组，即身体觉知疗法组（n = 20）、有氧运动组（n = 20）和对照组（n = 20）。通过视觉模拟量表（VAS）和疼痛日记评估个体的疼痛严重程度，通过疼痛残疾指数（PDI）和头痛影响测试（HIT）评估疼痛导致的残疾情况，并通过SF - 36评估生活质量。在首次评估之后，共进行6周，每周3次，每次60分钟的干预。
在研究结束时对各组进行比较时，发现身体觉知疗法组和有氧运动组个体的VAS、PDI和HIT值显著降低。身体觉知疗法组和有氧运动组个体的所有生活质量参数均显著提高。
得出结论，应用于紧张型头痛患者的身体觉知疗法和有氧运动方案在减轻疼痛、提高生活质量以及减少个体与疼痛相关的日常限制方面具有重要意义。
