Feasibility Assessment of Telephone-Administered Behavioral Treatment for Adolescent Migraine
Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, 10/08/07

Cottrell, C., et al. - Results show that completion rates for training by telephone (TAT) were high; adolescents evaluated their experience with TAT positively and were able to exhibit key behavioral headache management skills following treatment. While clinically significant improvements in migraine and migraine-related disability/quality of life were observed with both TAT and treatment as usual (triptan therapy), the small study size and the absence of a control group do not permit conclusions about the effectiveness of either treatment. Nonetheless these results indicate TAT may be a promising treatment format for improving access to behavioral treatments for underserved adolescents and justifies further evaluation of TAT both alone and in combination with drug therapy
