Psychological Therapy

Menstrual migraines aren’t just physical; they can be closely linked to stress, anxiety, and emotional changes that often occur around the menstrual cycle. Psychological therapies like Biofeedback Training offer tools to manage these underlying triggers.

This approach aims to build long-term coping skills and reduce the frequency and severity of menstrual migraines by addressing both mind and body.

Biofeedback Training

It involves the monitoring and voluntary control of physiologic processes, allowing patients to take an active role in managing their pain.

All forms of BFB involve the conversion of biologic or physiologic information into a signal that is then “fed back” in auditory form (such as clicks varying in rate) or visual form (such as bars varying in length).

In migraine, peripheral skin temperature feedback (TEMP-FB), blood-volume-pulse feedback (BVP-FB), and electromyographic feedback (EMG-FB) are most commonly used.
