Abstract:
Ten tension headache sufferers (TH) were compared with ten anxious neurotics (AN) and ten normal subjects in terms of electrodermal responses habituation (RH). TH sufferers showed less impaired RH than AN group, the normals showed least impairment. Moreover, it was evident that phasic elevation of electrodermal responses, rather than tonic measure, was a better indicator of individual differences between TH and AN groups.
