To study the clinical characteristics of headache patients with pericranial myofascial trigger points(MTrPs),and to explore the possible pathogenesis of MTrPs,investigators hope to find the possible electrical biomarkers for clinical diagnosis and treatment, and to improve the effect of headache treatment.
A series of neuropsychological test scale including Mini-mental State Examination(MMSE),Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale(HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HMAD) were evaluated among all patients.The needle pole electromyography (EMG) inspection were practiced on subjects with myofascial trigger points ,for analysing those electrophysiological characteristics.

Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale(HAMA)
Evaluating Anxiety state: Total score without anxiety symptoms less than 7 ,\> 7 points might be anxious, \> 14 points must be anxious, \> 21 points obvious anxiety, 29 \> serious anxiety

Mini-mental State Examination(MMSE)
Evaluating cognitive State, MMSE boundary between normal and abnormal value related to the degree of education, literacy (not education) group of 17 points or less, primary school (education duration of 6 years or less) group of 20 or less, secondary or above (education duration of \> 6 years) group of 24 points or less, the following boundary value for cognitive function defect, above normal.
Time frame: 20 minutes
Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HMAD)
Evaluating depression state:Normal score \< 8 points, 8 \~ 20 points might be depression, 20 \~ 35 must have depression, \> 35 severe depression.
