All participants were interviewed and analyzed using headache screening questionnaire (HSQ) with scoring equal to 8 was considered as TTH. Statistical analysis were done using chi-square tests. Study showed that 79 subjects (58.5%) had tension-type headache. Significant relationship were observed regarding duration (p=0.04), frequency (p=0.02), and subject’s head position (p=0.03) of smartphone usage with the incidence of tension-type headache. Smartphone usage played a role in tension-type headache incidence among patients in Sorong hospital.
