How could cognitive behavioral therapy help relieve pain from migraines? The link between the body and mind may hold the key.
To sort out how the therapy might have helped, researchers ran MRIs on the study participants both before and after their time in CBT. The adolescents had 15 + or - 7.4 headaches a month before enrolling in the study. They then participated in 8 weekly sessions of CBT. After the eight weeks, their headache frequency decreased to 10 + or - 7.4 a month.
That’s pretty cool. When medical problems are treated more effectively by talk therapy than by medication, it raises questions about the nature of the problem in the first place. It would be easy to wonder if migraine headaches are really an emotional or psychosomatic problem; an “all in our heads” sort of thing. It’s an old idea, passed down from ancient Greek ideas that formed a foundation in western culture: that the mind and body are separate.
