BREATHE with Headache (BREATHE-HA)
BREATHE-HA is a 6-session group mindfulness-based intervention delivered via telehealth for adolescents with migraine. The intervention was adapted from an empirically-supported mindfulness-based intervention for adolescents (Learning to BREATHE; Broderick, 2021). Example activities include breath awareness, body scanning, mindful eating, loving-kindness practice, and mindful movement, as well as activities and discussion focused on improving distress tolerance and enhancing self-care, with examples related to living with migraine.
Enhanced Standard-of-Care: Headache Education
Enhanced Standard-of-Care is a 6-session group headache education program delivered via telehealth. It will be derived from a manual with fidelity as an attention-matched control in a behavioral trial for pediatric migraine. Headache education will include didactics and discussion on headache symptoms, medication, lifestyle factors for pain management, communication with providers, education on mood/stress, and impact of headaches on school and family.
