Predictors of Improvement in Pediatric Chronic Migraine: Results from the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Amitriptyline Trial.

Explore predictors of improvement in headache days and migraine-related disability through a secondary analysis of the cognitive-behavioral therapy plus amitriptyline trial in children and adolescents (Clinical Trials Registration Number: NCT00389038). Participants were 135 youth aged 10-17 years old diagnosed with chronic migraine. Predictor variables included group assignment (treatment or control), baseline scores from depression and quality of life measures, and demographic variables.

Supervising Culturally Informed Modified Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Supervision can be a dynamic and fluid process where the relationship between a supervisor and supervisee evolves and enhances the supervisee's knowledge, attitudes, and skills through the use of various assessments and interventions. As a student encounters clients who have experienced trauma, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)-an empirically based model-can be implemented with diverse populations. Supervisors must ensure that the supervisees can adequately adapt TF-CBT to maintain the fidelity of the model while addressing the contextual variables of the client.
