NCT ID NCT03461874
First seen Feb 20, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study looked at whether adding Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to standard migraine drugs can lower the number of headache days in people with frequent migraines (9-14 days per month). 64 adults took part, half getting ACT plus usual care, half usual care alone. ACT involved 6 weekly group sessions plus two booster sessions, focusing on mindfulness and value-based actions. The goal was to see if the therapy group had fewer migraine days over 12 months.
