The aim of this study was to examine if a group of young women with long-lasting tension-type headache differed statistically significant concerning Global Physiotherapy Examination (GPE-52) and self-reported physical and psychological symptoms on a symptom list, compared to a corresponding group healthy young women. Twenty nine women with headache and 28 healthy women from upper secondary schools in Karlstad/Hammarö, Sweden, were examined once with GPE-52, and they reported occurrence of 30 symptoms on a symptom list. The results showed that the groups differed statistically significant concerning GPE-52 total sumscore, main domains respiration, movement and muscle, and 13 of 30 symptoms, except headache. Conclusion: A group of young women with long-lasting tension-type headache had significally more abbreviations in their bodies when they were examined with GPM-52, compared to healthy young women. The groups differed most in respiration. The women with headache also reported significally more symptoms than the healthy group. Key words: Headache, GPE-52, respiration, muscle tension, movement.
