Abstract

Headache is defined as pain in the head or upper neck. It is one of the most common locations of pain in the body and has many causes. It ranks amongst the most common local pain complaints and may be frequent for many people. (1) This is the research for the treatment of tension-type headache by systematically designing a portable head massager which is ergonomics, portable, reliable user friendly, affordable and practical. Tension-type headaches account for nearly 90% of all headaches. Approximately 3% of the population suffers from chronic-tension type headache. (2) The head finite symptoms or headache normally can be solved through massaging process. Massage can bring about improvements in the health of people with a wide range of problems including stress-related conditions such as headaches.(3) The research scope will be until a stage of concept design, complete with 3D solid modeling data developed using CAD tools. Primary outcome from this research was the concept design of portable head massager complete with proposed and selected mechanical element inside it.
