Detailed Description

This randomized, multicenter study compares 2 parallel groups of patients with migraine :

  • I: patients are treated with relaxation + medical treatment (beta-bloquant or Oxetorone)+ patients' education
  • II: patients are treated only with medical treatment + patients' education.

Visit 1 : 1 month before randomization for patient's selection and baseline data

Visit 2 (J0): inclusion (randomization) During the first 2 months patients from group I benefit from relaxation consultations.

Visit 3 (2 months after randomization)and visit 4 (4 months after randomization) : evaluation of the efficacy of the two treatment strategies.

Primary endpoint :

- number of days with migraine per month from J0 to visit 4.

Secondary endpoints :

  • monthly drug consumption
  • percentage of patients who respond (50 % frequency reduction)
  • quality of life (SF 36)

Each day, patients note in a notebook if a migraine appears and its intensity.
