5-hydroxytryptophan has been researched along with Tension-Type Headache in 2 studies
5-Hydroxytryptophan: The immediate precursor in the biosynthesis of SEROTONIN from tryptophan. It is used as an antiepileptic and antidepressant.
5-hydroxytryptophan : A tryptophan derivative that is tryptophan substituted by a hydroxy group at position 5.
Tension-Type Headache: A common primary headache disorder, characterized by a dull, non-pulsatile, diffuse, band-like (or vice-like) PAIN of mild to moderate intensity in the HEAD; SCALP; or NECK. The subtypes are classified by frequency and severity of symptoms. There is no clear cause even though it has been associated with MUSCLE CONTRACTION and stress.

| "A parallel, randomized, double-blind trial is reported, in which 78 patients with chronic tension-type headaches were treated with L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) (n = 43) or placebo (n = 35) for 8 weeks, after a washout period of 2 weeks and with a follow-up period of a further 2 weeks." | 9.09 | L-5-Hydroxytryptophan in the prophylaxis of chronic tension-type headache: a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study.

| "Interictal serum levels of serotonin and plasma and mononuclear cell concentrations of beta-endorphin were measured in 20 juvenile patients (13 suffering from migraine without aura and 7 from episodic tension-type headache) before and after 3 months of L-5-hydroxytryptophan treatment (5 mg/kg/day) and compared with a control group of 17 headache-free healthy subjects." | 9.08 | beta-endorphin in plasma and monocytes in juvenile headache.
