Abstract
Tension-type headache, although this term evokes either muscular tension or psychic tension, are often in relation with psychological components. Then treatment of headache needs to take into account those factors. Psychometry may be usefull in this work by orienting examens into that kind of informations and more by seeing the patients in a global approach and in their daily living context. The purpose of this article is to review and criticize the main themes such as stress, social support, coping styles, locus of control, family structure, personnality-traits, anxiety and depression. Migraine is also spoken, so that sometimes distinction between tension-type headache and migraine is not considered. This is jusified by the accurate trend that assumes the existence of a continuum between both kinds of headache.
