Recurrent Vascular Headache: Home-Based Behavioral Treatment versus Abortive Pharmacological Treatment.
Holroyd, Kenneth A.; And Others
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v56 n2 p218-23 Apr 1988
Compared the effectiveness of a home-based behavioral intervention (relaxation and thermal biofeedback training) with an abortive pharmacological intervention (with compliance training) for treating recurrent migraine and migraine/tension headaches. Both interventions yielded reductions in headache activity, psychosomatic symptoms, and daily life stress, but timing of improvements, impact on analgesic medication use, and variables predicting treatment response differed.
