Psychological interventions for migraine: A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing the Efficacy of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy, Modified Schema Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy on Rumination, Experiential Avoidance, Pain severity and Quality of Life in Migraine Patients.

Main Objective Is Comparison of the effectiveness of modified intensive and short-term dynamic group psychotherapy, schema therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy on rumination, experiential avoidance, pain severity and quality of life of patients with migraine

The clinical trial had a control group, with parallel groups, randomized,On 60 people

This research is a clinical trial study with a pre-test, post-test and one-month follow-up design. The statistical population includes patients with migraine headaches referring to clinics in Hamedan. Among them, 60 eligible patients will be randomly assigned to four groups. The experimental groups will receive their respective treatment protocols, while the control group will be placed on a waiting list. Data will be analyzed using one-way and two-way repeated measures analysis of variance.

The inclusion criteria for the study included individuals' willingness to participate in the study; no history of drug or alcohol use; no history of severe mental disorders such as hallucinations and delusions; and finally, individuals had not received any type of psychological treatment in the past 6 months.

Rumination, which involves passive and repetitive thoughts that focus on the causes and consequences of symptoms; experiential avoidance, which is an attempt to avoid painful or actual experiences; pain intensity, which is an unpleasant sensory experience that arises in the face of actual or potential physical harm; and quality of life, which is an individual's perception of their position in life in terms of the culture and value system in which they live.

The sample size is 60 people based on the type of research, which is randomly selected through a lottery and assigned to four groups of 15 people, taking into account dropout. According to experts, the ideal number of members in the treatment groups is up to 12 people (Berg, Landreth, & Fall, 2013), but considering the possibility of dropout, dealing with outliers, and trying to have larger groups to establish homogeneity of variance, each group is 15 people. The sampling method is as follows: by referring to the Psychiatry and Psychology Clinic in Hamedan, a list of all people eligible to participate in the research is prepared with the guidance of the technical manager or the clinic receptionist; after reviewing and having the entry criteria, the first 15 people are assigned to the short-term dynamic therapy group, the second 15 people to the schema therapy group, the third 15 people to the acceptance and commitment therapy group, and the last 15 people to the control group.

All data is potentially shareable after de-identifying individuals.
