About this trial
As the second phase of our study on migraine headaches and neurofeedback mindfulness, we will explore how chronic migraineurs will benefit from a long term practice (8 weeks) of neurofeedback mindfulness compared to a similar attention group and a waitlisted group. This randomized controlled trial will also explore if migrianuers could decrease their dependence on medicine intake after completion of the study.
