Abstract

There is a high prevalence of chronic daily headache (CDH) in Russia. CDH is most often represented by chronic migraine or chronic tension headache, with an interdisciplinary approach using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) being effective in its treatment. Two clinical cases of CDH are presented: a female patient 38 years old with chronic migraine and a female patient 53 years old with chronic tension headache. Interdisciplinary treatment, including CBT, allowed a relatively rapid (within 3 months) and persistent (for 5 years) improvement to be achieved for both the headache and the recovery of functional activity in patients. The practical aspects of using CBT are presented. The efficacy of CBT in clinical practice and the feasibility of the widespread introduction of CBT for CDH are discussed.
