2022, Journal of PainCitation Excerpt :Although training in mindfulness-based stress reduction has been shown to reduce headache frequency and impact in migraine,43 mindfulness as a dispositional characteristic appears less meaningful in this context. Perhaps the active and volitional use of mindfulness strategies as acquired through systematic training is of greater clinical importance and neurobiologically significant51,52,5,14,18,50 than the presence of a mindfulness-like trait occurring in the absence of training. Although prior findings in a similarly sized healthy sample led us to hypothesize that DMN connectivity would be associated with mindfulness, some methodological details, including differences in scanning parameters, study contexts, toolboxes and processing pipelines distinguish the present study from prior work (Harrison et al., 2019).
