Book Reviews of Breaking the Headache Cycle: A Proven Program for Treating and Preventing Recurring Headaches

Book Review: How To Think About Headaches
Summary: 4 Stars

This book taught me how to think about the migraines I was suffering from. I realized that my reaction upon the onset of another migraine was doing nothing to help me. It hurt my mood, stressed me out, and probably made my headaches hurt worse and last longer. This book taught me quite a bit. They are essentially pushing meditation and yoga. I haven't yet been disciplined enough to set aside time for those into my daily life, but I do try to stretch more and do deep breathing whenever I think of it. It feels like it helps.

Summary of Breaking the Headache Cycle: A Proven Program for Treating and Preventing Recurring Headaches

Two headache specialists offer their innovative Headache Reduction Program, for treating and preventing recurring headaches

Twenty-eight million people in the United States suffer from chronic, recurrent, often disabling headaches-half of them forgoing medical attention in favor of analgesics that do nothing to prevent the next one. In Breaking the Headache Cycle , the authors-migraine sufferers themselves-present the integrated Headache Reduction Program (HARP) that they developed at the Princeton Headache Clinic.

Based on the central insights that the predisposition to headaches is a sign of an unusually sensitive nervous system and that drugs are only one component of the most successful treatment plans, this remarkable program instructs readers in a range of techniques, including:

- how to relieve the pain of migraines
- how to detect and ward off oncoming headaches
- how to prevent migraines from even threatening

The innovative solutions detailed in Breaking the Headache Cycle range from simple breathing exercises and dietary changes to support groups and the latest medications. In this thorough and accessible guide, the authors promise new relief for those already being treated for recurring headaches and for those who currently suffer in silence.
