“…Furthermore, four studies only included patients with bilateral headaches (Chen et al., 2018; Li et al., 2021; Schmidt‐Wilcke et al., 2005; Zhang et al., 2021), whereas other 10 other studies did not specify the laterality of headaches in their TTH population. To evaluate the headache severity in patients, five studies utilized the visual analog scale (VAS) (Chen et al., 2016; Li et al., 2021; Wang et al., 2014; Yang et al., 2023; Zhang et al., 2021), two used headache intensity scale (HIS) (Chen et al., 2018; Wang, Wang, et al., 2022), and one employed headache disability inventory (HDI) (Tremolizzo et al., 2015), whereas six studies did not assess the headache intensity in their TTH population (Honningsvag et al., 2016, 2018; Husoy, Haberg, et al., 2019; Husoy, Pintzka, et al., 2019; Schmidt‐Wilcke et al., 2005). Among the studies that assessed the headache severity in TTH patients, six included patients with mild to moderate intensity headache (Chen et al., 2016, 2018; Li et al., 2021; Wang et al., 2014; Yang et al., 2023; Zhang et al., 2021), one included patients with moderate intensity headache (Wang, Wang, et al., 2022), and one included patients with mild, moderate, and severe intensity headaches (Tremolizzo et al., 2015).…”
