Cognitive Therapy Helps Kids With Migraine

Jane Stevens 12/27/132:47 PM

Compared with a combination of medication and headache education, children 10 to 17 receiving the cognitive therapy had an average of 4.7 fewer headache days per month (95% CI 1.7-7.7, P=0.002), according to Scott W. Powers, PhD, of Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, and colleagues.

Two-thirds of the children in the cognitive therapy group had at least a 50% reduction in monthly headache days, versus 36% of those assigned to the education program, the researchers reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
