Clinical Question: |
What is the evidence that relaxation therapy decreases symptoms of paediatric headache? |
| |
|
Clinical Scenario: |
Children and adolescents with recurrent headache are frequently referred to occupational therapy for relaxation therapy. We wanted to investigate the research evidence to determine whether continuing to provide relaxation therapy to these children and adolescents was justified. |
| |
|
Clinical Bottom Line: |
On the basis of the systematic review and the RCT it can be concluded that there is sufficient evidence to support the continuing use of relaxation therapy for the management of paediatric and adolescent headache by occupational therapists and others. |
