Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for the Management of Episodic Migraine.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purpose of reviewThis article provides an overview of the application of CBT in the management of episodic migraine while also providing context and insight into the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms of therapeutic change. It discusses the theoretical foundations of CBT and highlights key components including education, cognitive restructuring, behavioral interventions, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle changes. RECENT
findingsCognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an empirically based treatment that is well suited for the management of episodic migraine. Although first-line treatments of migraine are typically pharmacological, a review of empirical literature suggests growing evidence for the use of CBT as a standard non-pharmacological treatment of headache conditions. In summary, this article explores evidence supporting the efficacy of CBT in reducing the frequency, intensity, and duration of migraine attacks as well as improving the quality of life and psychological well-being of those with episodic migraine.
