Summary

This study was planned to investigate the effects of coping skills training on pain, quality of life, disability level, and coping skills in individuals with migraine.

Detailed description

Migraine is a type of headache that lasts 4-72 hours, and it is characterized by throbbing pain on one side of the head, and recurrent attacks, making routine daily activities and movements difficult. Also, nausea and vomiting may accompany migraine, and sensitivity to both light and sound may increase. The World Health Organization (WHO) lists migraine as the disease that causes the most disability. Approaches to the treatment of migraine consist of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments. Within the scope of non-pharmacological approaches, it is aimed to increase the coping skills of the individual by using methods such as exercise, stress management, and cognitive behavioral therapy, which include physical, mental, and cognitive interventions. Although these approaches are effective respectively, since migraine affects the whole life of the individual, there is a need for applications in which the approaches are applied with a combined and individual perspective. It has been shown that coping skills training improves both the physical and mental health and well-being of individuals with chronic headaches. It is known to cause a decrease in pain intensity, migraine attacks, and drug use. At the same time, it is aimed to adapt the individual to live efficiently. Despite these positive effects, there is a limited number of studies examining the effect of migraine coping skills training on individuals' disabilities and coping skills. Therefore, within the scope of this study, the effects of client-centered coping skills training on pain, disability, coping skills, and quality of life were examined.
