Abstract
There is a technique to measure the physiology of the nociceptive system, known as pressure algometry. It has a direct action on the responsive peripheral nociceptors to the pressure stimuli, making possible the study of the nociceptive integrity in normal individuals or with different pain syndromes [6]. Our aim was to determine the pain threshold in migraine and tensiontype headache patients by pressure algometry in craniocervical muscles as in nerves peripheral in both genders. Patients and Methods
