In this study, the experimental group showed significant reduction in the level of stress or chronic
TTH. Hence it can be concluded that continuous EMGa treatment had better performance results
compared to EMGv, EMGav, GSRa, GSRv, and GSRav BF therapies. From the tableau visualizations
tables, we can say that the mental health or stress level is positively related to biofeedback therapies.

5.11.1 COMPREHENSIVE CONCLUSION
The statement of the problem is “Comparative Analysis of EMG and GSR BF Therapies for TTH
treatment under auditory-visual mode on various subject stress indicators.”
One null hypothesis and one alternate was formulated in this study.
Results indicate that there was a significant relationship between mental health/stress by TTH
headache with biofeedback therapy. Comparative Tableau visualization depicted in all the graphs that
EMGav was more significant than that of EMGv, EMGav, GSRa, GSRv, and GSRav BF therapies in
reduction of the rate and improvement in TTH type headache.
