背景资料：正念疗法（MBT）已被证明可有效减轻慢性疼痛症状;然而，迄今为止尚未对MBT用于慢性紧张型头痛（CTH）进行专门研究。通常情况下，慢性疼痛的MBT涉及基于正念减压的8周计划。最近的研究表明，更简短的正念治疗可能对慢性疼痛有效。目的：进行一项初步研究，探讨简易MBT治疗CTH的疗效。方法：我们进行了一项随机对照试验，对CTH进行简短（6次，3周）MBT。结果如下：结果表明，治疗组的头痛频率显著降低，观察的正念方面增加，而等待名单对照组则没有。结论：短期MBT是治疗CTH的有效方法。
Background: Mindfulness-based therapy (MBT) has been demonstrated to be effective for reducing chronic pain symptoms; however, the use of MBT for Chronic Tension-Type Headache (CTH) exclusively has to date not been examined. Typically, MBT for chronic pain has involved an 8-week program based on Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. Recent research suggests briefer mindfulness-based treatments may be effective for chronic pain. Aims: To conduct a pilot study into the efficacy of brief MBT for CTH. Method: We conducted a randomized controlled trial of a brief (6-session, 3-week) MBT for CTH. Results: Results indicated a significant decrease in headache frequency and an increase in the mindfulness facet of Observe in the treatment but not wait-list control group. Conclusion: Brief MBT may be an effective intervention for CTH.
