Abstract:

Chronic daily headache (CDH) is currently the sixth leading cause of disability throughout the world. A combination of drug and non-drug therapies is the basis of the updated approach to treating patients with CDH. In the world practice, psychological methods include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), biofeedback, relax method and mindfulness. Modern data on the effectiveness of psychological therapy in dealing with chronic daily headaches and associated clinical outcomes are discussed in the article. Theoretical basis of CBT, biofeedback, relax method and mindfulness is highlighted.

Keywords:
