Mindfulness treatment
The Mindfulness treatment will consist of a series of 8 weekly meetings in small groups . An experienced therapist will guide patients and during the sessions they will be encouraged to close their eyes, assume a relaxed posture, focus on breathing and the present moment in order to improve awareness of mental and bodily sensations. Patients will also be encouraged to add a regular, practice at home of about 10 minutes to the group treatment. If necessary, patients in both groups can take the medication they normally take for acute events. These occurrences will be reported in the headache diary given to each subject. Before conducting the study protocol, the investigator will explain the study to each participant and collect a signed copy of the written informed consent. All participants will undergo a clinical, neurophysiological and neuropsychological evaluation before the first session and after the last. In both groups, the usual drug therapies in case of crisis will be allowed.
