The patients were divided into 3 randomized groups: control group (n=15), Instrument-Assisted Soft tissue Mobilization (EDYDM) group (n=15) and on Occipital nerve TENS (OTES) group(n=15).Each group was given home exercise to their treatment. Home exercises applied 1 time per day for 5 weeks. Each exercise in the exercise program was performed with 10 repetitions

The patient is asked to mark the pain he feels on a straight line of 10 cm. the value '0 means that there is no pain at all, and the value 10 means the most severe pain |
Secondary

| Headache effect test (HIT-6) | Change from baseline headache at 5 weeks | The Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6) has been developed to measure the factors contributing to headache and provides quantitative information about the impact of headache.
