title: Behavioral management of migraine.
abstract: Behavioral treatments for migraine have received increased attention over the past 25 years. In general, research has focussed on the six following areas: 1) comparative efficacy of treatments, 2) interplay of behavioral and pharmacological approaches, 3) development of delivery models that are cost-effective, 4) identification of characteristics associated with varied levels of response to treatment, 5) maintenance of effects and factors associated with long-term outcome, and 6) mechanisms of treatment. This paper briefly and selectively reviews the available literature in an attempt to point out the status of current research.
