“…The FGDs on the perceptions and experiences of the ACGs revealed the following findings: First, physically mindful behaviours, in contrast to conventional health education approaches that emphasise specificity, involved actively engaging in physical body movements or exercises while carefully observing and articulating the subsequent impact on the respiratory function, heart rate, muscle strength and emotional state. Some ACGs experienced pain relief or corporeal fatigue, which aligns with a previous report 25 on the efficacy of a mindfulness-based stress reduction technique in reducing the perceived chronic headache as well as a report 26 on the effectiveness in managing chronic pain. When the ACGs practised mindful breathing while eating and exercising, their appetites diminished, and their weight decreased.…”

Introduction: Adult caregivers (ACGs) are largely responsible for caring for their family members, which can increase their stress levels. This increased stress makes them more susceptible to chronic illnesses. The adoption of health-promoting behaviours, particularly through mindfulness-based behavioural education (MBBE), can significantly impact the daily habits of ACGs. However, there is limited research on this topic in the context of Thailand. Thus, this study aimed to explore the perceptions and experiences of ACGs receiving MBBE, focusing on physical, mental, social and other influential factors. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted among 19 ACGs living in the Bangkok Metropolitan Area. Focus group discussions (FGDs) and observations were conducted. The FGDs were digitally recorded, and their contents were analysed. Results: The ACGs were found to perceive and experience improvements in their mental stability and habitual behaviour. These improvements manifested as increased calmness, relaxation, clear communication, empathy, reduced risky behaviour, decreased desire for excessive consumption and travel and reduced pain. Furthermore, mindful behaviour was influenced by both internal and external personal factors as well as the specific situational environment. Conclusion: MBBE could lead to an increase in promotional behaviour, especially when combined with awareness, self-recollection and a self-efficacy approach. This finding encourages health personnel to consider incorporating regular skill practice as a complement to health education.

“…They are much easier to apply and learn than in-depth therapy, and they are more cost-effective. Though supported by multiple outcome studies (Haneveld et al, 2022 ; Okatsau et al, 2022 ; Ur Rehman et al, 2022 ), CBT focuses on symptom suppression rather than intrapsychic exploration and working on archaic causes (Røssberg et al, 2021 ), and so may not be as clinically enduring as DBP, but this assertion will require randomized controlled trials of significant time and expense (Barber, 2009 ).…”

Dual-Brain Psychology: A novel theory and treatment based on cerebral laterality and psychopathology

Dual-Brain Psychology is a theory and its clinical applications that come out of the author's clinical observations and from the Split-brain Studies. The theory posits, based on decades of rigorous, peer-reviewed experiments and clinical reports, that, in most patients, one brain's cerebral hemisphere (either left or right) when stimulated by simple lateral visual field stimulation, or unilateral transcranial photobiomodulation, reveals a dramatic change in personality such that stimulating one hemisphere evokes, as a trait, a personality that is more childlike and more presently affected by childhood maltreatments that are usually not presently appreciated but are the proximal cause of the patient's symptoms. The personality associated with the other hemisphere is much more mature, less affected by the traumas, and less symptomatic. The theory can be applied to in-depth psychotherapy in which the focus is on helping the troubled side to bear and process the traumas with the help of the therapist and the healthier personality. A person's symptoms can be evoked to aid the psychotherapy with hemispheric stimulation and the relationship between the dual personalities can be transformed from conflicted and sabotaging to cooperating toward overall health. Stimulating the positive hemisphere in most therapy patients rapidly relieves symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or substance cravings. Two randomized controlled trials used unilateral transcranial photobiomodulation to the positive hemisphere as a stand-alone treatment for opioid cravings and both revealed high effect sizes. The theory is supported by brain imaging and rTMS studies. It is the first psychological theory and application that comes out of and is supported by rigorous peer-reviewed experimentation.

“…Два самых известных и изученных психологических метода на основе майндфулнесс -когнитивная терапия на основе майндфулнесс (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy) и снижение уровня стресса на основе майндфулнесс (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction). По данным систематических обзоров и метаанализов, посвященных эффективности этих двух направлений майндфулнесс при мигрени, были сделаны следующие выводы [41,42]: а) майндфулнесс -это перспективный психологический метод, который можно комбинировать со стандартным лечением и получать бо ' льшую пользу, чем от монотерапии стандартным лечением или от монотерапии майндфулнесс; б) майндфулнесс значимо улучшает эмоциональное состояние пациентов, снижает уровень страдания, связанного с заболеванием, и улучшает качество жизни. У пациентов с мигренью и ЛИГБ в период отмены абузусных препаратов проведение терапии майндфулнесс имеет эффективность, сходную с традиционным профилактическим лечением [43,44].…”

Migraine is a chronic neurological disorder that is associated with considerable disadaptive effect on patients. Despite the development of pharmacotherapy strategies for migraine, only one third of patients are satisfied with their overall treatment. Many migraine patients turn to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), which is not usually considered a part of conventional medicine and is not always evidence-based. In practise, however, they are often used to improve the effectiveness of standard therapy or to provide alternative treatment. In addition, in CAM methods, the patient is actively involved in the choice of treatment strategies, and they have good adherence. The basic principles and approaches of CAM are increasingly being introduced into clinical practise. This review discusses the principles of CAM in the treatment of migraine as a holistic approach using lifestyle strategies and selected non-pharmacological treatments that have been shown to be effective and rational.
