Abstract

Migraine patients experience significant impairments in emotional, interpersonal, social, and vocational functioning. Many lack the self-efficacy and skills to manage migraine pain and its consequences, which can lead to increased pain, pain-related disability, and a lower quality of life. Comprehensive treatment should integrate behavioral approaches with proven efficacy in addressing environmental and psychological factors that influence the maintenance of pain behavior and symptoms, and which increase self-efficacy and skill acquisition to help patients identify and manage headache triggers, reduce pain, and promote active participation in prevention behaviors.
