The researchers propose a two-arm pilot study of telephone and video delivered Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT-T and MBCT-V) in people with migraine and depressive symptoms.
This study aims to set the stage for a future definitive large-scale Phase III trial in patients with migraine and depressive symptoms. This first phase is aimed at fidelity optimization of MBCT-T and MBCT-V in people with migraine (defined by the International Classification of Headache Disorders - 3) and depressive symptoms (defined by empirical cut-offs on the Patient Health Questionnaire - 9).

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) comprised of 8 weekly classes delivered via telephone by a licensed clinical psychologist certified to teach MBCT, following treatment fidelity guidelines from NIH's Behavioral Change Consortium. The program involves a commitment of 1 hour per week for 8 weeks. During the sessions, subjects will learn cognitive and mindfulness skills to help manage and cope with depression. Each weekly session consists of: check-in, instruction, skill building, discussion, and a home-based practice assignment.

Treatment Session Adherence Rate
Treatment Session Adherence is a measure of treatment feasibility and is defined as the number of scheduled treatments that were attended by the participants. This measure will be assessed through electronic monitoring of the attendance logs of each treatment session. A treatment arm will be considered feasible if participants attended/read 75% of sessions on average.
Time frame: Week 8
Average Client Satisfaction Questionnaire Score (CSQ-8)
The CSQ-8 is an 8-item generic standardized self-report tool to measure satisfaction with health and human services received by individuals and families. An overall score is calculated by summing the respondent's rating (item rating) score for each scale item. For the CSQ-8 version, scores range from 8 to 32, with higher values indicating higher satisfaction. A threshold score of greater than or equal to 24 is the cut-off for "Acceptability."
Time frame: Week 8
Mean Score on MBCT-T/V Adherence & Competence Scales (MBCT-TACS)
The mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT)-TACS is an assessment of treatment fidelity in terms of adherence and competence. The scores per session are recorded between 0-3 and averaged to get the total score. The total range of score is 0-3; the higher the score, the higher the fidelity.
Time frame: Week 8
Homework Assignment Completion Rate
Defined as the proportion of assigned home-based practice that participants completed each week.
Time frame: Week 8
