Abstract
Taped home relaxation training was evaluated in a single-case replication design across three patients suffering from tension headaches. Data from daily headache diaries indicated that headache frequency decreased substantially for two of the patients. For the third patient who reported almost continual headache pain, intensity was reduced by over 50%. When compared with results of our previous research taped home relaxation training appeared as effective as (and therefore, more cost-effective than) live clinic relaxation training.
