We chose a stratified population that is random of Pakistani peoples aged 19–69 years and evaluated all of them making use of an interview that is semi-structured to determine RLS, headache type, and medical faculties of TTH. We determined the prevalence and impact that is clinical or in individuals with TTH.

The prevalence of RLS was significantly higher among people with TTH than among those with non-headache (6.0% vs 3.6%, p = 0.018). The prevalence of RLS was significantly greater in subjects with TTH who fulfilled PM requirements compared to individuals with non-headache members (8.0% vs. 3.6%, p = 0.018). Conversely, RLS prevalence in people who have TTH who would not accomplish PM criteria would not change from that of members with non-headache (5.5% vs. 3.6%, p = 0.063). TTH individuals with RLS had Higher analog that is visual results for headache intensity (5.1 ± 2.0 vs. 4.3 ± 1.8, p = 0.038), and greater prevalence of anxiety (20.6% vs. 8.8%, p = 0.022) and anxiety (14.7% vs. 3.5%, p = 0.002) than TTH members lacking RLS. Multi-variable analyses disclosed that inconvenience aggravation by movement (odds ratio [OR] = 2.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.1–5.2), as well as anxiety (OR = 3.5, 95% CI = 1.1–11.4), had been immense indications of RLS among the people with TTH.
