Overview

Neuro-imaging is generally not indicated for patients with TTH. Usually indicated if abnormal neurologic examination findings or atypical presentation or presentation not fulfilling the ICHD-3 criteria. Neuro-imaging with a non-contrast computed tomography (CT) scan is usually indicated to rule out underlying structural brain lesion or to evaluate brain and pituitary gland in patient presenting with typical features or highly suspicious of tension-type headache.
