CORRECTING PAIN CATASTROPHIZING IN MIGRAINE USING COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT)

Relevance of the topic: Pain catastrophizing observed in migraine patients—characterized by the excessive negative appraisal of pain, rumination, and a sense of helplessness—not only increases the subjective severity of the condition but also reduces the response to pharmacological treatment. Consequently, in recent years, significant attention in migraine therapy has been directed not only toward pharmacological agents but also toward psychotherapeutic approaches aimed at altering the patient's cognitive response to pain.
