lüll Migraine and tension headache--a complementary and alternative medicine approach Woolhouse MAust Fam Physician 2005[Aug]; 34 (8): 647-51BACKGROUND: Migraine and tension headache are common--affecting up to 10% and 40% of the Australian population respectively--and result in significant reduction in social activities and work capacity for sufferers. OBJECTIVE: This article considers the evidence for the use of a range of complementary therapies and treatment in the prevention and management of both migraine and tension headache. DISCUSSION: Migraine and tension headache can have many precipitating factors. Considering dietary and environmental factors complements a migraine/headache consultation. There is evidence for the role of mind-body approaches, nutritional supplements such as riboflavin and magnesium, and acupuncture in the treatment of headache. By using a holistic approach we may be able to tailor a treatment program that is both effective and safe.|Acupuncture Therapy[MESH]|Complementary Therapies/*methods[MESH]|Diet Therapy/methods[MESH]|Diet/adverse effects[MESH]|Dietary Supplements[MESH]|Environmental Exposure/adverse effects[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Magnesium/therapeutic use[MESH]|Migraine Disorders/etiology/*therapy[MESH]|Mind-Body Therapies/methods[MESH]|Phytotherapy/methods[MESH]|Riboflavin/therapeutic use[MESH]|Risk Factors[MESH]|Sleep Wake Disorders/complications[MESH]|Tanacetum parthenium[MESH]|Tension-Type Headache/etiology/*therapy[MESH] |
