Abstract:Objective To explore the application effect of mindfulness based therapy in patients with chronic tensiontype headache.Methods A total of 92 patients with chronic tension-type headache admitted to Gaozhou People′s Hospital from January 2018 to June 2020 were selected as the research objects.They were divided into the observation group(n=46)and the control group(n=46)by the random number table method.Both groups were given oral administration of Eperisone Hydrochloride Tablets, 50 mg each time, 3 times a day.In the observation group, mindfulness based therapy was added.Both groups were treated for 8 weeks.The clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated.The improvement of clinical symptoms before and after treatment was recorded.The sleep quality of the two groups was assessed using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), and the quality of life of the two groups was assessed using a concise quality of life scale.Results The total effective rate of treatment in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).After treatment, the duration of headache of the observation group was shorter than that of the control group, and the headache degree score and total PSQI score were lower than those of the control group, with statistical significances (P<0.05).After treatment, the quality of life of the two groups was improved, and the scores of the quality of life items in the observation group such as physical pain,general health, mental health, emotional function, physiological function, social function, and vitality were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion On the basis of conventional treatment, implementing mindfulness based therapy can help improve the clinical efficacy of chronic tension-type headache, the clinical symptoms and sleep quality, and thus ameliorate the quality of life.
