La céphalée de tension est le type de mal de tête le plus fréquent. [...] Nous avons cru que ces maux de tête étaient causés par le stress ou par la tension musculaire (d’où son nom). Mais il est devenu clair que la tension musculaire est associée à toutes sortes de maux de tête, y compris la migraine. 3, record 1, French, - c%C3%A9phal%C3%A9e%20de%20tension
