  • Title: [Stress management in migraine].
    Author: Pichler M, Linzmayer L, Grünberger J, Wessely P.
    Journal: Wien Klin Wochenschr; 1988 Jun 10; 100(12):385-91. PubMed ID: 3407199.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this study was to investigate the physiological and psychological mechanisms underlying migraine, 21 patients with migraine, 21 healthy controls and a group of 21 asthmatics participated in the investigation. All patients and controls were female. Using flicker frequency analysis we determined unspecific cortical activation, whereas autonomic activation was measured by means of the skin conductance level and the skin conductance response. Furthermore, stress management was objectivated by a self-rating scale (SVF). Our findings suggest the hypothesis of inadequate regulation of autonomic especially sympathetic reactions, which along with inadequate stress overcoming mechanisms appear to be of importance in the triggering of migraine attacks.
