Abstract
This paper reviews non-invasive behavioural approaches – broadly construed as cognitive, affective, behavioural and psychophysiological interventions – and examines whether they can impact central, peripheral or autonomic nervous system components responsive to pain in general and headache in particular. It focuses on two developing bodies of literature – neurophysiology of migraine and fMRI studies of pain networks. The available literature suggests behavioural interventions can affect neuromodulation, although further research is clearly warranted.
