An Online Psychological Program for Adolescents and Young Adults With Headaches: Iterative Design and Rapid Usability Testing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Headache disorders are common, debilitating health problems. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is recommended but rarely easily available. With the use of the internet and communication technologies among youth and young adults, these individuals could be self-trained in CBT skills.
