Objective: This study sought to investigate the relationship between allodynia, psychological variables, and disability among individuals with migraine.
Background: A growing body of research views migraine as a condition of stress-related physiological dysregulation. Cutaneous allodynia is one manifestation of this dysregulation and affects a majority of individuals with migraine, though it is typically discussed in the context of headache pathophysiology.
Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this review is to summarize the role of avoidance behavior in headache-related disability and overview relevant clinical implications.
Recent Findings: Avoidance occupies a central role in contemporary psychological perspectives on headache disorders and other chronic pain conditions. Several cognitive constructs of relevance to headache are influenced and maintained by avoidance behavior.
