Eight classic migraine sufferers were trained to self-regulate blood volume pulse amplitude (BVPA) using photoelectric plethysmograph feedback. Using a within-subject design, subjects learned to increase and decrease BVPA at superficial temporal artery (STA) and finger locations. They were then assessed while experiencing a migraine headache in the training laboratory during which pain measurements were obtained. Results showed a significant relationship between voluntary pulse amplitude changes in the STA and pain reports during migraine consistent with expectations from Wolff's theory. Further, pain did not change as a result of pulse amplitude changes in the finger location. A two-stage biofeedback treatment model for migraine is proposed.
八名典型偏头痛患者接受训练,使用光电体积描记器反馈来自我调节血容量脉搏振幅(BVPA)。采用受试者内设计,受试者学会在颞浅动脉(STA)和手指部位增加和减少BVPA。然后在训练实验室中,当他们经历偏头痛时对其进行评估,并在此期间获取疼痛测量值。结果显示,STA处的自主脉搏振幅变化与偏头痛期间的疼痛报告之间存在显著关系,这与沃尔夫理论的预期一致。此外,手指部位的脉搏振幅变化并未导致疼痛改变。本文提出了一种偏头痛的两阶段生物反馈治疗模型。
