Migraine Sufferers' Ability to Self-manage Symptoms Boosted by Proper Management
In the study, Elizabeth Seng and Dr. Kenneth Holroyd from Ohio University in the US compared the effects of various treatment combinations for severe migraine - drug therapy with or without behavioral management.
And they showed that those patients receiving the behavioural management program alongside drug therapy are significantly more confident in their ability to use behavioural skills to effectively self-manage migraines.
And surprisingly, the increase in confidence in self-management abilities is greatest among those who feel that they have very little control over their condition before treatment starts.
The researchers analyzed data for 176 participants in the US Treatment of Severe Migraine Trial.
Treatment programs included acute drug therapy for all, with either _-blockers or placebo - each with or without behavioral migraine management.
The behavioural migraine management program consisted of demonstrations of migraine management skills during four monthly clinic visits, which were then applied between sessions by participants through workbooks, audiotape lessons, and guided home practice.
