Peripheral Interleukin-1β Levels are Elevated in Chronic Tension-Type Headache Patients

Peripheral Interleukin-1β Levels are Elevated in Chronic Tension-Type Headache Patients

BACKGROUND: Tension-type headache is the most common form of headache and its chronic form, chronic tension-type headache (CTTH), is one of the most difficult to treat. The etiology of CTTH is not well understood, but is believed to be multifactorial and to vary among individuals. In the present stu...
