• They typically affect both sides of the head.
• Onset of symptoms is typically gradual.
• Neurologic deficits, such as weakness or numbness, can occur.
• They are the most common type of headache.

  The correct answer is: Neurologic deficits, such as weakness or numbness, can occur.   Explanation: Tension-type headaches (TTH) are typically non-migrainous headaches and do not involve neurologic deficits like weakness or numbness. Such symptoms are more characteristic of migraine headaches or other neurological conditions, not tension-type headaches.   Here’s why the other statements are true: They typically affect both sides of the head: Tension-type headaches are often described as a bilateral (both sides) dull, tight, or pressure-like pain.   Onset of symptoms is typically gradual: Tension-type headaches usually have a gradual onset, rather than a sudden or throbbing onset seen in migraines.   They are the most common type of headache: Tension-type headaches are the most prevalent type of primary headache disorder.   Therefore, neurologic deficits such as weakness or numbness are not characteristic of tension-type headaches.
