Popis: Background. Chronic tension-type headache is the primary headache with the highest prevalence. The present study is aimed at analyzing the associations between patient self-efficacy and headache impact with pain characteristics, kinesiophobia, anxiety sensitivity, and physical activity levels in subjects with chronic tension-type headache. Materials and Methods. An observational descriptive study was carried out. A total sample of 42 participants was recruited at university environment with diagnosis of tension-type headache. Headache characteristics (frequency, intensity, and duration), physical activity levels, pain related-self-efficacy, kinesiophobia, anxiety sensitivity, and headache impact were measured. Results. The HIT-6 (61.05±6.38) score showed significant moderate positive correlations with the ASI-3 score (17.64±16.22; r=0.47) and moderate negative correlations with the self-efficacy in the domains of pain management (31.9±10.28; r=−0.43) and coping with symptoms (53.81±14.19; r=−0.47). ASI-3 score had a negative large correlation with self-efficacy in the domains of pain management (r=−0.59), physical function (53.36±7.99; r=−0.55), and coping with symptoms (r=−0.68). Physical activity levels showed positive moderate correlations with the self-efficacy in the domain of physical function (r=0.41). Linear regression models determined that the self-efficacy and anxiety sensitivity with showed a significant relationship with the HIT-6 score (R2=0.262;p=0.008) and with the ASI-3 score (R2=0.565; p
