Headache is the most frequent neurological symptom and the most prevalent pain in children and adolescents, and constitutes a serious health problem that may lead to impairment in several areas. Psychosocial factors, social environment, life events, school and family stressors are all closely related to headaches. A multidisciplinary strategy is fundamental in addressing headache in children and adolescents. Applying such a strategy can lead to reductions in frequency and severity of the pain, improving significantly the quality of life of these children.It has been demonstrated that behavioral intervention is highly effective, especially in the treatment of paediatric headache, and can enhance or replace pharmacotherapy, with the advantage of eliminating dangerous side effects and or reducing costs. Behavioral interventions appear to maximize long-term therapeutic benefits and improve compliance with pharmacological treatment, which has proven a significant problem with child and adolescent with headache.The goal of this review is to examine the existing literature on behavioral therapies used to treat headache in children and adolescents, and so provide an up-to-date picture of what behavioral therapy is and what its effectiveness is.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of body awareness therapy on pain, fatigue, and quality of life in women with tension type headache and migraine. Methods: Socio-demographic features of patients who are included in the study were recorded. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used for pain and Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) was used for fatigue, Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) was used for life quality related with health. Following the first evaluation, body awareness therapy (BAT) was applied for patients for 6 weeks per 60 minutes in 3 sessions. Results: Among patients with TTH, there was statistical difference between VAS, FSS and total NHP score before and after BAT (p<0.05). Among patients with migraine, there was statistical difference between total NHP score before and after BAT (p<0.05). Conclusion: Body awareness therapy is an effective method that can be used in order to increase life quality related with health among women patients with TTH and migraine.
