Effect of neurofeedback-assisted mindfulness training on migraine severity, associated disability, sleep quality, and emotional distress: protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

This research focuses on a new way to help people with migraines. It explores a method called Neurofeedback-Assisted Mindfulness Training Program (NAMTP). Migraines are common and can cause significant pain and disability. Current medications often have side effects and may not work for everyone. This study plans to involve 66 adults who have frequent migraines. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the treatment or control group. The goal is to see if NAMTP can reduce migraine severity, improve sleep quality, and lower emotional distress. Researchers aim to gather more evidence on this non-drug approach to migraine management. If successful, this method could offer a helpful alternative for those struggling with migraines, especially when medications fail. The findings may lead to better treatment options for patients suffering from this debilitating condition. Clinical relevance: This research could provide a non-drug treatment option for migraine sufferers, improving their quality of life and reducing reliance on medications.
