University of Mississippi researchers say relaxation can work just as good on migraine headaches, as expensive medication.

The study was actually a cost benefit analysis.  Researchers followed people for a year, and compared the cost of prescription medication against professional relaxation services like massage, hypnosis, etc (called minimal contact therapy).

The results were that the minimal contact therapy was just as effective, and $500.00 cheaper.  Some of the patients in the study say they’ve actually cut back on their professional relaxation treatment to just a few times a year, saving even more money.
