Effect of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction on Pain Severity and Mindful Awareness in Patients With Tension Headache: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Overview
This randomized controlled trial examines the effects of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) on pain severity and mindful awareness in sixty patients diagnosed with tension-type headaches. Participants were assigned to either an MBSR group receiving eight weekly 120-minute sessions or a treatment-as-usual control group, with outcomes measured via headache diaries and the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale at baseline, post-treatment, and three-month follow-up. The study reports significant reductions in pain severity and increases in mindful awareness for the MBSR group compared to controls.
