Previous studies have not found a significant correlation between location of pain and electromyogram levels in chronic headache patients. However, these studies only examined a limited number of muscle groups and did not assess subjective tension levels. The present study evaluated a group of tension-type (n = 43) and migraine and tension-type (n = 30) headache patients. Measures were obtained at five muscle sites (frontalis, temporalis, masseter, splenius capitis, and trapezius) for patient ratings of headache pain, patient ratings of muscle tension, and electromyogram recording cross-sectionally. Neither subjective pain nor tension ratings were found to be significantly related to electromyogram levels. The site-specificity relationship between chronic headache pain, subjective report of muscular tension, and electromyogram levels remains unclear.
先前的研究未发现慢性头痛患者的疼痛部位与肌电图水平之间存在显著相关性。然而，这些研究仅检查了有限数量的肌肉群，且未评估主观紧张程度。本研究评估了一组紧张型头痛患者（n = 43）以及偏头痛合并紧张型头痛患者（n = 30）。在五个肌肉部位（额肌、颞肌、咬肌、头夹肌和斜方肌）进行了测量，以获取患者对头痛疼痛的评分、患者对肌肉紧张的评分，并进行肌电图的横断面记录。未发现主观疼痛评分或紧张评分与肌电图水平存在显著相关性。慢性头痛疼痛、肌肉紧张的主观报告与肌电图水平之间的部位特异性关系仍不明确。
