Chronic migraine is a debilitating headache disorder that is associated with excessive analgesic use. As the long-term use of analgesics could cause additional headaches due to medication overuse, there is a need to probe efficient nonprophylactic alternatives and migraineurs' long-term adherence to such possible treatments. This protocol investigates the integration of neurofeedback and mindfulness which are the two common nonpharmacological therapies for migraines. We offer the use of portable EEG headbands for easy home-based data collection and consistent data access from researchers. In order to evaluate the efficacy of this recommended intervention, this is a protocol for a randomized control trial with a waitlisted group and an intervention group consisting of a daily attention task. The protocol presents important criteria which should be checked for consistency in longitudinal data collection from adults with chronic migraine.
慢性偏头痛是一种使人衰弱的头痛疾病，与过度使用镇痛药有关。由于长期使用镇痛药可能因药物滥用导致额外的头痛，因此有必要探索有效的非预防性替代方法以及偏头痛患者对这类可能治疗方法的长期依从性。本方案研究神经反馈和正念的整合，这是两种常见的偏头痛非药物疗法。我们提供便携式脑电图头带，便于在家中收集数据，并使研究人员能够持续访问数据。为了评估这种推荐干预措施的疗效，这是一项随机对照试验方案，设有等待名单组和干预组，干预组包括每日注意力任务。该方案提出了重要标准，在从患有慢性偏头痛的成年人中进行纵向数据收集时应检查这些标准的一致性。
