Abstract

Non-pharmacological approach is important for effective treatment of migraine, at least in some appro- priate patients. These include biofeedback, relaxation techniques, avoidance of precipitating factors, acupunct- ure, nerve block, and so forth. Biofeedback is most effective to young, intelligent, and motivated patients. These treatment modalities often neglected. Principles, indications and limitations of each modality are herein discussed. More active utilization of these approaches are recommended for more effective migraine therapy. Korean Journal of Headache 2(1):20-26, 2001
