SYNOPSIS Objective evaluation of biofeedback for vascular headache has not been carried out. We report on a retrospective study of twenty‐seven patients with migraine or mixed migraine and muscle contraction headache. They were followed for a mean of 10.9 months before training in skin‐temperature and electromyogram biofeedback. After training, they were under our care for an average of 14.2 months. The severity and frequency of headaches and the amount of medication token during the post‐biofeedback period was compared with the last two months prior to biofeedback. A significant improvement was obtained in thirteen patients. Biofeedback is important in the treatment of migraine.
