治疗头疼的三种行为疗法

Headache is not just a physical disorder. It can impact a person's mental health, relationships, career prospects, basic life functions like sleep and exercise, and overall well-being.
头痛不仅仅是一个物理障碍。它还能影响一个人的心理健康、人际关系、职业前景、基本生活功能像睡眠、锻炼和整体健康。

This is why a combination of medication and behavioral therapies are often used to treat headache disorders—and research shows this holistic approach works better than either therapy alone.
这就是为什么药物和行为治疗经常用来治疗头痛疾病-研究显示整体方法优于单独治疗。

While there are number of complementary therapies advertised as being effective for managing headaches, many do not have the scientific proof to back them up.

对于容易头痛人来说，甚至每天轻微的压力就能引起头痛-像工作截止日期、照顾孩子或付账单。这些轻微的压力可以刺激一个人的神经系统，会导致心率和血压的增加、呼吸急促、出汗、肌肉收紧和无法睡眠。

Biofeedback
生物反馈

In biofeedback, a device measures your body's physical responses to stress and then feeds this information back to you. This way you can develop an awareness of your body's responses and learn how to control them.
