Occupational Therapy

A previous study showed that for those patients who completed four or more sessions of O.T. for headache management, increases in self-management skills, physical abilities, emotional functioning, and overall quality of life were found, all while having decreases in average pain levels and functional impact on activities in daily life. 

The results indicate that O.T. can significantly provide effective treatment for patients with headaches. Therefore, they should consistently be part of the regular care plan for patients with headaches and should be stapled members of multidisciplinary headache care teams.
