The researchers will carry out a randomized experimental study. Participants in the experimental group will receive a treatment based on suboccipital inhibition technique in addition to conventional treatment. Participants in the control group will only receive the conventional treatment. The existence of significant differences in both groups will be analyzed.
Conventional therapy will consist of microwaves, interference currents, and manual therapy.

Change in Visual Analogue Scale for Pain
a continuous scale comprised of a horizontal (HVAS) or vertical (VVAS) line, usually 10 centimeters (100 mm) in length, anchored by 2 verbal descriptors, one for each symptom extreme: "no pain" (score of 0) and "worst imaginable pain" (score of 10)
Time frame: immediately before starting the intervention and after the last session of the intervention, that is, 2 weeks from the start
Change in Six-item Headache Impact Text
A global measure of adverse headache impact. The final HIT-6 score is obtained from simple summation of the six items and ranges between 36 and 78, with larger scores reflecting greater impact.
Time frame: immediately before starting the intervention and after the last session of the intervention, that is, 2 weeks from the start
