Abstract
Purpose of review: This goal of this paper is to identify the need to report adverse events (AEs) in mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) for migraine and highlight conceptual issues related to their reporting. This paper reviews the benefits and AEs in MBIs broadly and considers their application to a migraine population.
Recent findings: Due to a lack of standardized protocol for measuring and reporting, there is little published information on AEs in MBIs for migraine. Several recent trials have reported individual cases of AEs, including one instance of posttraumatic re-experiencing. The increasing popularity of MBIs in the treatment of chronic pain conditions, including migraine, makes it necessary for providers to understand which AEs occur. Patients with migraine may be at an elevated risk of experiencing AEs in MBIs.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published clinical findings regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and management of pain and headache. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care and prevention of pain and headache.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as anesthetic techniques in pain management, cluster headache, neuropathic pain, and migraine. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
