Abstract
Development in the field of technology is growing with a fast pace, mainly the IoT (internet of things). It is an interface between machine-to-machine, machine-to-human, machine-to-infrastructure as well as machine-to-environment. Stress, especially TTH (tension type headache), is a serious problem in today's world. Now every person in this world is facing headache and stress-related problems in daily life. To measure the stress level, the authors have introduced the concept of EEG, EMG, and GSR biofeedback. In case of TTH, human is in a state in which one experiences pain like a physical weight or a tight band around one's head. TTH is different from migraine as it can be affected due to everyday activities. The most common type of primitive headache is tension type headache (TTH). The focus of the research work was to compare the impression of EMG-, GSR-, and EEG-integrated biofeedback on stress due to headache and quality of life of the subjects under consideration.
