This study compares autogenic training and training in multiple self-hypnosis strategies in a sample of 56 patients diagnosed as having chronic tension headache on the basis of medical evaluation by a neurologist. At posttreatment and follow-up, no differences between the two treatment regimens in the reduction of headache and psychological distress were observed. During treatment, patients reduced their headache activity and level of psychological distress significantly in contrast to the waiting-list period (p < 0.05). Follow-up measurements indicated that therapeutic improvement was maintained (p < 0.05). Short-term and long-term pain reduction was accompanied by an increase in perceived pain control (p < 0.003). Moreover, those patients who attributed the pain reduction obtained during therapy to their own efforts manifested long-term pain reduction (p < 0.003).
本研究在一组56名经神经科医生医学评估诊断为患有慢性紧张性头痛的患者样本中，比较了自生训练和多种自我催眠策略训练。在治疗后和随访时，未观察到两种治疗方案在减轻头痛和心理困扰方面存在差异。在治疗期间，与等待期相比，患者的头痛活动和心理困扰水平显著降低（p < 0.05）。随访测量表明治疗改善得以维持（p < 0.05）。短期和长期疼痛减轻伴随着疼痛控制感的增加（p < 0.003）。此外，那些将治疗期间疼痛减轻归因于自身努力的患者表现出长期疼痛减轻（p < 0.003）。
