Primary Specific Aims The proposed project is a feasibility study designed to test the MBCT protocol for chronic pain treatment and to provide pilot data to support subsequent research proposals to be submitted to the National Institutes of Health. In this initial trial the investigators will use patients with primary complaints of headache pain and treat them at a collaborating headache clinic. We selected this target population because headache pain is highly disabling and is the most common pain related complaint treated in medical practice. Furthermore, given the time frame of the study, it is more feasible to recruit patients where the PI has an established and ongoing collaborative relationship. The proposed project emphasizes the research area of health, medicine, and behavior.
