ABSTRACT

For pediatric headache, see Chapter 9 including Table 9.1 (Connelly, Rapoff, Thompson, & Connelly, 2006).

CP for headache has been subject to at least three RCTs on the internet, two with a Swedish system and one with a USA system. The Swedish netCP workbook system (Table 8.1: Andersson et al., 2003; StroÈm et al., 2000) gave six weeks of guidance on applied relaxation, autogenic training and problem solving, and asked subjects to record daily headache intensity and duration and medication, and weekly frequency of relaxation practice. Subjects reported results weekly, and each week were emailed a fresh part of the netCP system. The USA netCP system (Devineni & Blanchard, 2004) gave four weeks of netCP consisting of: for tension headache, progressive muscle relaxation and cognitive stress coping, and for migraine or mixed headache, autogenic training plus progressive muscle relaxation.
