Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Chronic Migraine
This study is testing if a behavioral therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help adults with chronic migraine feel less disabled by their headaches. Researchers want to see if adding ACT to your usual migraine treatment improves your daily functioning and activity, as well as headache frequency and pain. You would be eligible if you are between 18 and 65 years old, have chronic migraine, and are a patient at the Graham Headache Center. The study plans to enroll 40 participants. The main way they will measure success is by looking at changes in your Headache Disability Index scores after 3 months.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 40 participants. It compares adding Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to usual headache treatment versus usual headache treatment alone.
- What's involved
- If selected for ACT, you would take 8 classes to learn ACT and then practice it at home, in addition to your regular headache treatment.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary endpoint is measured at 3 months, suggesting follow-up for at least that duration.
