Detailní popis
Aerobic exercise has long been discussed as a potential treatment for chronic headaches, though research in this area has been somewhat limited. It is warranted to consider the effectiveness of aerobic exercise as part of a larger headache management intervention. Early research in this area suggests that including an exercise component in conjunction with other effective forms of headache management, such as progressive muscle relaxation, biofeedback, and stress management, is associated with improvement in number of days with a headache, headache pain intensity and mood. None of these studies have specifically analyzed the effectiveness of the aerobic exercise component, though Lemestra et al. (2002) noted that participants who continued with their exercise regimen had better overall outcomes three months after the intervention ended.
Given the high rates of obesity and the fact that many people do not meet the minimum daily requirement for exercise, it is worthwhile to investigate the additive effect of exercise to behavioral headache interventions.

Experimentální: Exercise-Start (ES)
The ES group will receive standard behavioral treatment in the Self-Management Training Program for Chronic Headaches.
In addition to this material, participants in this group will receive an exercise prescription for 20 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity at the beginning of Week 1.
The exercise prescription will increase to 25 minutes in Week 2, and 30 minutes in Week 3.
They are asked to maintain 30 minutes per day of exercise through Week 8. Participants choose the type of exercise, and have the option to break it up into 10-minute increments throughout the day.
|
This behavioral treatment program consists of behavioral approaches to headache management: progressive muscle relaxation, stress-management training, and biofeedback.
Skills for these techniques are presented during the clinic sessions, and supplemented with workbooks and audio CDs.
In addition, all participants will receive a graduated exercise prescription of 20-30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, five days per week.
They will be instructed to assess the intensity of their exercise using the Borg perceived exertion scale.
Client contact sessions are as follows: Clinic Session (CS)1; Phone Session (PS) 1 (end of week1), CS 2 (end of week 4); PS 2 (end of week 6); CS 3 (end of week 8).

Headache Disability Index (HDI)
Časové okno: baseline, 8 weeks, 10 weeks
|
HDI is a 25-item questionnaire that assesses headache-related functional and emotional disability in chronic headache sufferers.
Participants respond to items using a 3-point scale: "yes," "sometimes," or "no."
|
baseline, 8 weeks, 10 weeks

|
Highest weekly headache intensity
Časové okno: 2 weeks prior to treatment through 2 weeks post-treatment
|
Patients are asked to report the the intensity of their worst headache during the past week, using a 0 (pain-free) to 10 (extremely intense pain) scale.

Composite Depression/Anxiety Screening Scale (PHQ-4)
Časové okno: 2 weeks prior to treatment through 2 weeks follow-up
|
This is a 4-item measure assessing symptoms of anxiety and depression in the past two weeks.
Participants respond on a 4 point scale: 0=Not at all; 1=Several days; 2=More than half of the days; 3=Nearly every day.
When this measure is administered during the course of treatment (weekly) participants will be asked to respond based on their experiences in the past week.
