Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for recurrent depression: A translational research study with 2-year follow-up

Australian & New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry March 4, 2014 Graham Meadows, Frances Shawyer, Joanne Enticott et al. 66 citations

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) plus active monitoring reduced the average number of days with major depression over two years to 65, compared to 112 for active monitoring alone. Proportionally fewer MBCT participants experienced relapse in both the first and second year (odds ratio 0.45). The difference in time to first depressive episode was not statistically significant, though trends favored MBCT. MBCT was most effective for people receiving specialist care and for those taking antidepressant or mood stabilizer medication. The findings support MBCT's effectiveness in routine practice, with effects less strong than in prior efficacy studies but still appreciable.

Mindfulness and Chronic Headache/Migraine

The Clinical Journal of Pain July 1, 2018 Biyanka Komandur, Paul R. Martin, Siavash Bandarian-Balooch

In a sample of 217 adults with self-reported chronic headache or migraine, higher mindfulness was associated with lower negative affect, pain catastrophizing, fear of pain, pain hypervigilance, and headache duration, but not with headache pain intensity or frequency. Mindfulness remained a significant predictor of negative affect and pain hypervigilance even after accounting for other factors. The findings suggest that mindfulness may play a role in the Fear-Avoidance Model of chronic pain for this population.
