Patients suffering from migraine will be randomly allocated to one of two different behavioral interventions:
Sixty patients suffering from migraine will be randomly allocated to one of two different behavioral interventions: (i) mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) an eight week intervention program based different meditation & yoga techniques and teaching information regarding the relationship between stress and health. or (ii) into an active control group teaching three times within eight weeks relaxation techniques (progressive muscle relaxation PMR) and giving psychoeducation on migraine. The investigator will measure the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks before during and after the intervention by headache diaries as well as secondary variables on pain sensation, psychological well being, generic quality of life, pain regulation, pain acceptance, mindfulness, compliance and satisfaction with the intervention. The hypothesis is that patients allocated to the MBSR intervention will reduce the frequency of their migraine attacks compared to the active control group and compared to their own baseline.
