Figure 3 Comparison of Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6) and Neck Disability Index (NDI) scores between patients with chronic tension-type headache and healthy controlsThe scatter diagram of HIT-6 (A) and NDI (B) scores in the 2 groups. The HIT-6 scores of patients with chronic tension-type headache (55.07±4.83) were significantly higher than those of healthy volunteers (39.73±3.56). The neck function impairment index of patients with chronic tension-type headache (16.2±10.96%) was significantly higher than that of healthy volunteers (5.01±2.60%). This figure was created using GraphPad Prism version 6 (GraphPad Software). *** P<0.0001 compared with healthy controls (Wilcoxon rank-sum test).
