ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to explore patients' experiences and management of pain in connection with a migraine attack in episodic migraine. DESIGN, SETTING ANDSUBJECTS:
This qualitative study used a semi-structured interview format based on functional behavioural analysis as commonly used in cognitive behavioural therapy. We interviewed eight participants and analysed their responses using systematic text condensation.RESULTS:
Participants' descriptions of their experiences and management of pain from episodic migraine were sorted into three description First physical sensations, Automatic reactions and Acts according to the interpretation.CONCLUSION:
From a biopsychosocial perspective, a migraine attack is much more complex than just an experience of pain. The purely biological pain prompts a number of automatic reactions leading to strategies for pain management.
Functional behavioural analysis can increase our understanding of experiences during a migraine attack from a biopsychosocial pain perspective.Several pain mechanisms appear to be relevant during the experience of a migraine attack than are described in the diagnostic criteria for migraine.Pain management consists of a chain of behaviours, approaches to the migraine attack and medication and the consequences of pain management.Knowledge and understanding of patients' experiences of pain and pain management during a migraine attack is an important tool in the biopsychosocial model.
