Blood volume pulse biofeedback in the treatment of migraine headache: A controlled evaluation

In order to evaluate the specific effects of blood volume pulse (BVP) biofeedback in the treatment of migraine headaches, 21 female migraine patients were randomly assigned to one of three experimental conditions: temporal artery constriction feedback, temporal artery dilation feedback, or waiting list. Biofeedback training consisted of 15 sessions over an 8-week period. All patients completed 5 weeks of daily self-monitoring of headache activity and medication before and after treatment. Results showed that constriction and dilation biofeedback were equally effective in controlling migraines and produced greater benefits than the waiting-list condition. No significant relationships were found between therapeutic gains and BVP self-regulation skills. However, further analyses revealed that changes in headache activity and medication were associated with changes in vasomotor variability. The current rationale for the use of BVP biofeedback in the treatment of migraine is questioned and a new one is proposed.     

Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia Versus Neck/Trapezius EMG and Incentive Inspirometry Biofeedback for Asthma: A Pilot Study

This pilot study compared biofeedback to increase respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) with EMG and incentive inspirometry biofeedback in asthmatic adults. A three-group design (Waiting List Control n = 5, RSA biofeedback n = 6, and EMG biofeedback n = 6) was used. Six sessions of training were given in each of the biofeedback groups. In each of three testing sessions, five min. of respiratory resistance and EKG were obtained before and after a 20-min biofeedback session. Additional five-min epochs of data were collected at the beginning and end of the biofeedback period (or, in the control group, self-relaxation). Decreases in respiratory impedance occurred only in the RSA biofeedback group. Traub-Hering-Mayer (THM) waves (.03-.12 Hz) in heart period increased significantly in amplitude during RSA biofeedback. Subjects did not report significantly more relaxation during EMG or RSA biofeedback than during the control condition. However, decreases in pulmonary impedance, across groups, were associated with increases in relaxation. The results are consistent with Vaschillo's theory that RSA biofeedback exercises homeostatic autonomic reflex mechanisms through increasing the amplitude of cardiac oscillations. However, deep breathing during RSA biofeedback is a possible alternate explanation.     

Biofeedback control of migraine headaches: a comparison of two approaches

In order to assess the relative effectiveness of finger warming and temporal blood volume pulse reduction biofeedback in the treatment of migraine, 22 female migraine patients were assigned to one of three experimental conditions: temporal artery constriction feedback, finger temperature feedback, or waiting list. Biofeedback training consisted of 12 sessions over a 6-week period. All patients completed 5 weeks of daily self-monitoring of headache activity (frequency, duration, and intensity) and medication before and after treatment. Treatment credibility was assessed at the end of Sessions 1, 6, and 12. Results showed that temporal constriction and finger temperature biofeedback were equally effective in controlling migraine headaches and produced greater benefits than the waiting list condition. Power analyses indicated that very large sample sizes would have been required to detect any significant differences between the two treatment groups. No significant relationships were found between levels of therapeutic gains and levels of thermal or blood volume pulse self-regulation skills. Likewise, treatment outcome was not found to be related to treatment credibility. Further analyses revealed that changes in headache activity and medication were associated with changes in vasomotor variability. Because blood volume pulse variability was not significantly affected by biofeedback training, questions about its role in the therapeutic mechanism are raised.     

自适应式与固定式生物反馈训练对出口梗阻型便秘患者肛直肠功能和心理状态的影响

目的:探讨自适应式与固定式生物反馈训练对出口梗阻型便秘(OOC)患者肛直肠功能和心理状态的影响。方法:选取2017年4月～2019年12月期间晋城大医院收治的OOC患者98例,根据随机数字表法将患者分为对照组(n=49,固定式生物反馈训练)和研究组(n=49,自适应式生物反馈训练),比较两组患者疗效、肛直肠功能、排便次数、排便困难评分和心理状态。结果:研究组治疗8周后的临床总有效率93.88%(46/49),高于对照组的77.55%(38/49)(P0.05)。两组治疗8周后排便次数增加,排便困难评分降低(P0.05),研究组治疗8周后排便次数多于对照组,排便困难评分低于对照组(P0.05)。两组治疗8周后直肠肛门抑制反射阈、肛管静息压均较治疗前下降,模拟排便时直肠肛管压力梯度较治疗前升高(P0.05)。两组治疗8周后焦虑自评量表(SAS)、抑郁自评量表(SDS)评分均较治疗前下降,且研究组低于对照组(P0.05)。结论:与固定式生物反馈训练相比,自适应式生物反馈训练可获得与之效果相当的肛直肠功能改善程度,并可进一步减轻患者症状及改善心理状态,疗效显著。     

EMG levels in the occipitofrontalis muscles under an experimental stress condition

In view of the importance attached to the frontalis muscles by researchers into the etiology of head pain and its treatment by biofeedback techniques, it is surprising that no data have yet been reported on the functioning of the occipitalis muscles, which have a close physiological relationship to the frontales. This study explores the response of the frontalis and occipitalis muscles under a condition of experimental stress. Migraine and tension-headache sufferers were separately compared with a headache-free control group under four conditions: baseline, while listening to instructions, while carrying out an auditory vigilance task, and for a further resting period equivalent to baseline. Results showed that tension levels in the frontalis muscles were not elevated at rest in any of the experimental groups, nor were they significantly responsive to the experimental task. The occipitales however proved to have significantly higher levels in both the tension-headache and migraine groups during the task and recovery periods. The results for the tension group reached significance because of a drop in control group values. These results may have significance in determining the best site for electrode placement in biofeedback.Thanks are due to Professor John Darroch for statistical advice.     

Blood volume pulse biofeedback treatment of chronic cluster headache

Behavioral interventions shown to be clinically effective in the treatment of migraine headache have generally not been employed for cluster headache. Herein, we report on the treatment of a severe case of chronic cluster headache with a common method of migraine treatment, temporal blood volume pulse (BVP) biofeedback. The patient was a 61-year-old male, medically diagnosed as suffering from chronic cluster headaches for over 20 years. Following an 18-day baseline, 14 BVP biofeedback sessions were conducted over a 7-week period. By the last 2 weeks of treatment, there was a 70% reduction in daily headache frequency and a 45% decrease in headache severity. Improvement was maintained at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 21 months follow-up. Large decreases in the consumption of migraine abortives, narcotic analgesics, and antiemetics were also observed. These encouraging results call for further evaluation of the efficacy of BVP biofeedback treatment of chronic cluster headache.This research was supported in part by the Psychological Services Center, Memphis State University. Portions of this article were presented at the meeting of the Society of Behavioral Medicine, Chicago, March 1982.     

Migraine, Helicobacter pylori, and oxidative stress

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to ascertain whether oxidative stress is a causative factor of migraine attacks for Helicobacter pylori-infected migraineurs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 35 consecutive migraine patients without aura who came to gastroenterology polyclinic with various complaints and diagnosed H. pylori infection were included in the study group and compared with a group of 29 patients (control group) without migraine and H. infection. H. pylori infection was diagnosed by histopathological biopsies, which were taken by endoscopy (Olympus-GIFXQ240 endoscope). Both the diagnosis and the classification of migraine were made according to the International Headache Society criteria. Blood samples for nitric oxide were taken from patients with migraine during headache-free period as well as the control group. The interaction of nitric oxide was measured by the determination of both nitrite and nitrate concentrations in the sample. RESULTS: The study group included 31 women and 4 men (mean age 49 +/- 8 years) and the control group included 25 women and 4 men (mean age 52.6 +/- 11 years). The mean frequency of migraine attacks was 2.94 +/- 1.58 days/month and the mean duration of attacks was 21.2 +/- 3 hours. It was found that the study group has lower nitrate levels than the control group. CONCLUSIONS: Our results do not support the role of oxidative stress in patients suffering from H. pylori infection and migraine.     

Comprehensive surgical treatment of migraine headaches

The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of surgical deactivation of migraine headache trigger sites. Of 125 patients diagnosed with migraine headaches, 100 were randomly assigned to the treatment group and 25 served as controls, with 4:1 allocation. Patients in the treatment group were injected with botulinum toxin A for identification of trigger sites. Eighty-nine patients who noted improvement in their migraine headaches for 4 weeks underwent surgery. Eighty-two of the 89 patients (92 percent) in the treatment group who completed the study demonstrated at least 50 percent reduction in migraine headache frequency, duration, or intensity compared with the baseline data; 31 (35 percent) reported elimination and 51 (57 percent) experienced improvement over a mean follow-up period of 396 days. In comparison, three of 19 control patients (15.8 percent) recorded reduction in migraine headaches during the 1-year follow-up (p < 0.001), and no patients observed elimination. All variables for the treatment group improved significantly when compared with the baseline data and the control group, including the Migraine-Specific Questionnaire, the Migraine Disability Assessment score, and the Short Form-36 Health Survey. The mean annualized cost of migraine care for the treatment group (925 dollars) was reduced significantly compared with the baseline expense (7612 dollars) and the control group (5530 dollars) (p < 0.001). The mean monthly number of days lost from work for the treatment group (1.2) was reduced significantly compared with the baseline data (4.41) and the control group (4.4) (p = 0.003). The common adverse effects related to injection of botulinum toxin A included discomfort at the injection site in 27 patients after 227 injections (12 percent), temple hollowing in 19 of 82 patients (23 percent), neck weakness in 15 of 55 patients (27 percent), and eyelid ptosis in nine patients (10 percent). The common complications of surgical treatment were temporary dryness of the nose in 12 of 62 patients who underwent septum and turbinate surgery (19.4 percent), rhinorrhea in 11 (17.7 percent), intense scalp itching in seven of 80 patients who underwent forehead surgery (8.8 percent), and minor hair loss in five (6.3 percent). Surgical deactivation of migraine trigger sites can eliminate or significantly reduce migraine symptoms. Additional studies are necessary to clarify the mechanism of action and to determine the long-term results.
