Biofeedback control of migraine: a pilot study.

C Reading, P D Mohr

    The British Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology
    |November 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Biofeedback training helped subjects voluntarily regulate hand temperature, significantly reducing migraine attacks. This study demonstrates a clinically effective method for migraine control through temperature self-regulation.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Behavioral Medicine

    Background:

    • Migraine attacks represent a significant neurological challenge.
    • Effective, non-pharmacological interventions for migraine management are needed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the efficacy of biofeedback training for voluntary hand temperature regulation in controlling migraine attacks.
    • To assess the impact of this training on migraine frequency and severity.

    Main Methods:

    • Six subjects underwent biofeedback training focused on voluntary hand temperature control.
    • Migraine activity was monitored daily during baseline, training, and follow-up phases.

    Main Results:

    • Statistically significant improvements were observed in multiple migraine activity indices.
    • Subjects demonstrated enhanced ability to voluntarily increase hand temperature.
    • Clinical significance in migraine reduction was noted.

    Conclusions:

    • Voluntary hand temperature regulation via biofeedback is a viable strategy for migraine management.
    • This approach offers a promising non-pharmacological avenue for individuals suffering from migraines.
