It is well known that numerous factors may affect the type of psychopathologies associated with migraine and Tension-type Headache (TTH). The difference may be related to differing life events, childhood traumas, cultural factors, roles, social expectations, personality traits, parenting and coping strategies across genders behind the unknown process of the disorders own. According to well-known Beck’s cognitive model, basic beliefs about the self, others and the world that called cognitive schemas when distorted may increase vulnerability for psychopathology, together with biopsychosocial disorders like migraine or TTH. At this manner Early maladaptive schemas (EMS) are strong, extensive, dysfunctional themes about one’s self and relationships with others that form throughout childhood and are elaborated over the lifespan. EMS are also a potential target of the process focused behavioral management of primary headache disorders.
The main aim of this Research Topic is to gather data about Early maladaptive schemas (EMS), with evidence in both the translational and clinical field, but also including social sciences research. This also opens an efficient discussion on the topic of new perspectives in behavioral management of migraine or TTH. Adding developmental perspectives, creates a potential collaboration between social and medical scientists, which could lead to more open-minded ideas to daily practice.
We welcome the submission of manuscripts focusing on the following areas:
- Anatomic bases of cognitive schemas, including Early maladaptive schemas (EMS);
- Pathophysiological peculiarities of cognitive schemas, including Early maladaptive schemas (EMS);
- Developmental peculiarities of cognitive schemas, including Early maladaptive schemas (EMS);
- Comparative data of cognitive schemas in headache disorders;
- Behavioral management of migraine or TTH in children and adolescents;
- Natural history of migraine managed by cognitive schemas or other behavioral management methods;
-Statistical methods proposing new methodology in evaluating schema therapies and other behavioral management issues;
- Cognitive scales which potentially evaluate behavioral management, including cognitive.
