The effect of blood volume pulse (BVP) and frontalis muscle action potential (EMG) feedback on control of vasoconstriction of the temporal artery and frontalis muscle activity in combined migraine-muscle tension subjects was investigated in a multiple baseline design (across subjects and responses). The data indicated: (a) both subjects obtained an ability to control BVP during BVP feedback and EMG during EMG feedback; (b) there were decreases in frequency of migraine headaches during BVP feedback and decreases in muscle contraction headaches during EMG feedback. The results of this study supported the theoretical explanation of two pain mechanisms involved in combined muscle contraction-migraine headaches as well as the effectiveness of bio-feedback procedures that target directly the specific pain mechanism in the elimination of the two types of head pain.
在一项多基线设计(跨受试者和反应)中,研究了血容量脉搏(BVP)和额肌动作电位(EMG)反馈对偏头痛合并肌肉紧张受试者颞动脉血管收缩控制和额肌活动的影响。数据表明:(a)两名受试者在BVP反馈期间均获得了控制BVP的能力,在EMG反馈期间获得了控制EMG的能力;(b)在BVP反馈期间偏头痛头痛频率降低,在EMG反馈期间肌肉收缩性头痛减少。本研究结果支持了对肌肉收缩性偏头痛合并头痛所涉及的两种疼痛机制的理论解释,以及直接针对特定疼痛机制的生物反馈程序在消除两种类型头痛方面的有效性。
