Abstract
The goal of this study was to examine whether behavioral avoidance was pervasive in a sample of headache sufferers as has been suggested by Philips ( Behavior Research and Therapy, 25, 273–279, 1987). One hundred and fifty participants provided retrospective evaluations of behavior changes perceived to have resulted from repeated exposure to headache pain. The outcome of these self-assessments underscored marked changes in several domains of behavior and overall lifestyle. This evidence therefore provided support for Philips' position since the changes appeared persistent, even during pain-free states.
