title: Comments on the failure of intensive self-regulatory treatment with chronic daily headache.
abstract: Non-pharmacological therapy of primary headache conditions including chronic daily headache (CDH) is not well-studied.  Barton and Blanchard report on their experience with intensive self-regulatory treatment in a cohort of patients with CDH.  This negative trial provides preliminary observations that need further investigations in controlled, adequately powered clinical study.
