Valium can be prescribed for chronic tension headaches to ease muscle tension, but isn’t the first-line treatment. It may be less effective than NSAIDs or muscle relaxants in reducing pain.
Valium can be prescribed for chronic tension headaches to manage muscle tension, but it’s not a first-line treatment as it risks dependency.
Compared to other treatments like NSAIDs or physical therapy, Valium offers quick relief but carries higher risks and potential for misuse.
While Valium reduces muscle tension in tension headaches, other options like biofeedback or acupuncture avoid the sedation and dependency risks.
