This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an online Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) program in reducing pain, stress-related symptoms, and improving functionality in adults with chronic migraine and a history of adverse childhood experiences (ACE). Participants will be randomly assigned to either the MBCT intervention group or a control group. The intervention is delivered entirely online over eight weeks. The study hypothesizes that MBCT will result in significant improvements in pain perception and stress-related symptoms compared to the control condition.

Willingness to participate in online sessions from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM on the scheduled day of the intervention.
Male and female patients with a score of 4 or higher on the Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire.
