Guided Imagery For Migraine Help

PainNP: Changes in the Meaning of Pain with the Use of Guided Imagery:
"Although the use of guided imagery should not be used in place of analgesic medication, it is useful as an adjunct to more traditional methods of pain treatment."

My Take:

This interesting study found that the technique of guided imagery helps patients control their pain -- all kinds of pain. I have used it and can report some mild benefit, but only when used early. Another tool in our migraine toolkit.
