Study Arms (2)

ACT-ME

EXPERIMENTAL

ACT-ME is designed to reduce behavioral avoidance and to enhance acceptance-based coping. It includes: 1) Behavioral Change Training involving a) teaching patients how to recognize ineffective patterns of behavior and habits, b) exploring and setting life goals and goals related to mental and physical health, and c) promoting effective and committed actions to achieve these goals despite the urge to do otherwise; 2) Acceptance and Mindfulness Training emphasizing new ways of managing troubling thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations; and 3) Migraine education whereby each of the educational topics listed below will be covered without detailed discussion of the topics.

Behavioral: ACT-ME

Migraine Education Only

EXPERIMENTAL

The MEO workshop will last six hours and involve educating participants about migraine, its natural course, its prodromal symptoms and triggers for symptom worsening, risk for migraine chronification, how to use abortive migraine medications, medication overuse headache, medical and psychological treatments of migraine, migraine comorbidity, and menstrual migraine. The group leaders will present one educational topic at a time and the participants will discuss and reflect about issues and experiences related to the topic. If necessary, the group leaders will raise specific discussion questions to facilitate group dialogue and participant involvement. However, information on coping practices will be omitted.

Behavioral: Migraine Education Only
