Lauren R. Natbony, MD, takes us on a deep dive into the association between nutrition and dietary patterns in migraine, including proposed mechanisms, and the remaining needs in patient education and research.
Mindfulness practices associated with left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) anodal transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) have a therapeutic effect in women with chronic migraine.
A migraine-specific adaptation of the Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy program does not improve headache-related impairment among patients with migraine, but does result in reduced headache frequency and improved psychological functioning.
