Sargent, Green, and Walters (1972, 1973) demonstrated that hand-warming could abort migraines and that autogenic biofeedback training could reduce headache activity. The early Menninger migraine studies, although methodologically weak (no pretreatment baselines, control groups, or random assignment to conditions), strongly influenced migraine treatment.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Sargent JD, Green EE, Walters ED | title = The use of autogenic feedback training in a pilot study of migraine and tension headaches | journal = Headache | volume = 12 | issue = 3 | pages = 120–4 | date = October 1972 | pmid = 5075461 | doi = 10.1111/j.1526-4610.1972.hed1203120.x | s2cid = 36834854 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Sargent JD, Walters ED, Green EE | title = Psychosomatic self-regulation of migraine headaches | journal = Seminars in Psychiatry | volume = 5 | issue = 4 | pages = 415–28 | date = November 1973 | pmid = 4770571 }}</ref>
