Conversely, prolonged exposure to certain triggers may reduce a potential trigger's ability to precipitate a headache. This model has led to an alternative approach to trigger management being proposed called\n                      <jats:italic>Learning to Cope with Triggers<\/jats:italic>\n                      , which advocates the desensitization of certain headache triggers through controlled exposure, while supporting avoidance of those triggers that are detrimental to health and wellbeing.

With an interval of 2\u20106 weeks, a subsample of participants (n\u2009=\u2009201) completed the HTSAQ for a second time. The mean age of the sample was 31.4 years (\n                      <jats:italic>SD<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200912.8). The most common headache diagnoses (based on the Brief Headache Screen) were migraine (chronic\u2009=\u200962; episodic\u2009=\u2009160), followed by medication\u2010overuse headache (n\u2009=\u200987).
