One must deal with the underlying cause instead. In these instances, teaching the brain to self-regulate better affords it a higher stress tolerance. With conventional headaches, a complete training regimen may require only about ten training sessions. For migraine headaches, the training regimen may be somewhat longer. In all cases, testing with the T.O.V.A. is helpful in order to assess the person's attentional skills.
Attention is one of the most fundamental of brain processes.
Assessing how the person pays attention has been found to be also a good indicator of status of brain self-regulation, as well as of the appropriate EEG training protocol to effect remediation. The success rate for headaches has been extremely high.
