Headache and mood disorders co-occur at significant rates. Two psychological techniques of proven effectiveness in treating headache are biofeedback and relaxation training. For treating the mood disorders that accompany chronic headache, cognitive-behavioral and pharmacological therapies are highly effective both individually and combined. The present article discusses the importance of treating anxiety-spectrum disorders as well as pain when treating headache, and of manipulating factors known to influence the probability of a patient's developing chronic pain and disability.
头痛和情绪障碍的共病率很高。生物反馈和放松训练是两种经证实对治疗头痛有效的心理技术。对于治疗伴随慢性头痛的情绪障碍，认知行为疗法和药物疗法单独使用或联合使用都非常有效。本文讨论了在治疗头痛时治疗焦虑谱系障碍以及疼痛的重要性，以及控制已知会影响患者发展为慢性疼痛和残疾可能性的因素。
