Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Behavioral Medicine

Background:

  • Chronic headaches cause long-term disability, impacting quality of life and increasing psychological distress.
  • Traditional pain relief methods show limited effectiveness for chronic pain.
  • Psychological and behavioral factors are increasingly recognized as crucial in managing chronic pain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) to individuals with chronic headaches in Hungary.
  • To evaluate the impact of MBCT on quality of life, pain coping mechanisms, and depression levels.

Main Methods:

  • An 8-session group program based on Melissa Day's (2012) structure was implemented.
  • Standardized measurement tools assessed depression, pain catastrophizing, quality of life, mindfulness, stress, and self-compassion.

Main Results:

  • Significant reductions were observed in the negative impact of pain on quality of life (p<0.001), pain catastrophizing (p<0.001), and depression (p<0.01).
  • Mindfulness skills (p<0.001) and self-compassion (p<0.001) significantly increased post-intervention.

Conclusions:

  • Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is an effective intervention for improving the quality of life in chronic headache sufferers.
  • MBCT's brief nature allows for easy integration into primary care and specialized headache clinics.
