Data from multiple research studies shows that most patients experience at least a 50% reduction in headache with this treatment. Seventy percent of children receiving these interventions experienced significant improvement. This treatment can also decrease the negative interference headache has on their life.  \nWhat is CBT?  \nCBT is a psychological treatment that has demonstrated efficacy in treatment of chronic pain, including chronic migraine. CBT includes:  \n1. Bio behavioral treatment components of cognitive training  \na. Cognitive modification  \nb. Distraction  \n2. Behavioral change strategies  \na. Relaxation training  \nb. Activity pacing  \nc. Adherence plans  \nCBT gives kids the skills to teach their body to respond more helpfully to stress by learning stress reducing strategies. With CBT, patients acquire skills to make healthy changes in thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and behaviors with the goal of improved pain and overall daily experience.  \nFrequently Asked Questions:  \nHow many sessions of CBT does my child need?  \nCBT for headache management is frequently completed in 6-8 sessions, with home practice considered essential for treatment.  \nWhy CBT for my child?  \nCBT should be highly recommended to any patient who is dissatisfied with their current headache status, but certainly for those patients who have chronic migraine or are experiencing moderate or greater disability from headache symptoms.  \nShouldn’t we just be able to handle this on our own?  \nA migraine is a very difficult and sometimes debilitating chronic condition for children. We want to make sure you have multiple evidence-based resources in order to minimize the amount of pain your child has.  \nIt will take too much time.  \nPain management treatment is often completed in 2-3 months. The time invested in treatment is actually shorter than the time spent staying at home when your child is absent from school, or time spent in the emergency room.  \nErnst, M., O’ Brien, H., & Powers, S.
