Adherence to and Beliefs on Recommendations for Behavioral Treatment for Migraine

Migraine patients are oftentimes referred for evidence based behavioral therapies to prevent migraine. Yet, at follow-up visits, they report not seeing the behavioral therapist. This is a pilot feasibility acceptability study to assess whether motivational interviewing (MI) can be implemented in the headache center setting to help improve initiation and adherence to behavioral therapy for migraine. We will also assess patients' reasons for making/not making the appointment.
