Evaluation of home-based thermal biofeedback treatment of pediatric migraine headache.
Sixteen children and adolescents with migraine headache were treated with thermal biofeedback. Seven were seen individually in the clinic while the other nine participated in a limited-contact, partly home-based regimen. Evaluation of headache diary data from 4-week monitoring periods before and after treatment showed significant (p less than .01) reduction in headaches, with no significant difference in efficacy between the two conditions.
