Background and Aim The migraine headache is of the most common causes of headache, and some psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety and depression, in many cases accompany the headache. Some research results indicate the effectiveness of behavioral psychotherapy in reducing migraine headaches. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of cognitive-behavioral stress management on depression, anxiety, and reduction of migraine headache. Materials and Methods In this clinical trial, 19 women with migraine, whose anxiety and depression had been diagnosed based on DSM IV criteria and Beck's anxiety and depression tests, were provided with cognitive-behavioral stress management for 10 weeks. Beck's tests were used to compare the recovery rate of anxiety and depression. Data were analyzed by SPSS (version 15) using paired T-test, Wilcoxon, and Kruskal-Wallis tests at the significance of p≤0.05. Results In this study, cognitive-behavioral stress management was significantly effective in reducing depression, anxiety (p≤0.001), and migraine headache occurrence (p=0.004), and there was a significant difference between pre- and post-test scores (p≤0.001). ConclusionCognitive-behavioral stress management is effective on depression, anxiety and migraine headache, and can be used in combination with drug therapy.
