Tension headaches can be treated by targeting motor neurons to relax muscles, sensory neurons to reduce pain input, or modulatory neurons to alter pain perception.

“there are treatments and approaches for each and every one of those each and every one of those has different advantages and disadvantages but as you can quickly see we are going to have different types of headaches and different approaches to treating headache but if you keep in the back of your mind that you have neurons that contract muscles to create movement or tension of muscles remember you can turn off those neurons and allow those muscles to relax you have Sensory neurons that sense input and actually sense the pain and you have modulatory neurons which can allow you to adjust the relationship between the sensory neurons and the motor neurons”
