Abstract
The effects of bio-feedback (music presented contingent on low EMG levels) on tension headaches was evaluated during inpatient and outpatient phases. Dependent variables included frequency and intensity of headaches in both phases, and anti-headache medication as needed in the outpatient phase. Results indicated that the patient's headache levels and medication requirements were low during bio-feedback but increased when bio-feedback was terminated. Anti-tension exercises involving deep breathing and stretching of neck muscles introduced during a clinical follow-up were associated with a sustained decrease in headaches.
