The Effect of Music Therapy on Episodic Migraine Patients Under the Care of Chronic Pain Department - A Pilot Trial
Abstract
Migraine is a frequent pathology, highly linked to anxio-depressive factors. Non-drug approaches are part of the therapeutic arsenal. Music therapy is a recent discipline expanding in hospital services and specialised ambulatory centers. The main objective of this study is to assess the effect of " U " technique in receptive music therapy on migraine frequency, on patients suffering from episodic migraines, through " Music care " software home use. Secondary objectives are to assess this technique impact on migraine intensity, duration, emotional effect (HAD score), functional impact (HIT-6 score), and acute treatment administration. This is a monocentric prospective before-after study carried out in chronic pain department of the CHU Sud Reunion.
Conditions: Migraine Headache.
Primary outcome: Frequency of Migraine Attacks (Number of Days Per Month).
Enrollment: 20 participants.
