Chronic headache pain<\/a>\u00a0is something millions of people experience. It\u2019s a condition that reduces quality of life and leaves people scrambling for answers as they look for ways to find relief. One of the last places they would likely look is to the dance floor, but new research suggests that it may be a good option to consider. We have known for a long time that dancing tends to make people happy, but now there is light being shed on the idea that it may also help\u00a0alleviate chronic headache pain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Researchers put mindfulness-based dancing to the test and reported the results of their study in the April 2021 issue of the journal\u00a0Frontiers in Psychology<\/em><\/a>\u00a0[1]. The study included 29 patients who have chronic headache pain. They were randomly put into either the group to receive mindfulness-based dance therapy or a group to receive what the researchers referred to as treatment as usual.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The participants who were in the dance therapy program were offered 10 sessions of mindfulness-based dancing over the course of five weeks. They gathered data regarding how they were feeling before the study began and once it was over, and they did a 16-week follow-up to see how they were doing with the chronic headache pain at that point.<\/p>\n

Like what you\u2019re learning?\u00a0 Download a brochure for our\u00a0online, postgraduate pain medicine<\/a>\u00a0certificate or master\u2019s degree program in\u00a0partnership with the Keck School of Medicine of USC.<\/p>\n

What they found was that those who participated in the mindfulness-based dancing therapy had a significant reduction in pain intensity, as well as in\u00a0depression<\/a>. Those who had been engaging in the dance therapy not only reduced the pain they were living with, but they felt happier overall. These results were even maintained at the 16-week follow up.<\/p>\n

This study provides hope for those who have chronic headache pain. Adding dancing to your life may be the ticket to help reduce pain,\u00a0improve mood<\/a>, and ultimately increase quality of life. Mindfulness-based dance therapy is an affordable option for those who want to give it a try and see if it helps with their condition or overall quality of life.<\/p>\n

Mindfulness-based dance therapy is considered a\u00a0mind-body therapy<\/a>, which are things that people can do that help to enhance the mind\u2019s interactions with the body. Using mindfulness in dancing would include focusing on the body and breath during the dancing. Engaging in it just twice a week on average helped those in the study, and it may help you, too.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to give mindfulness-based dancing therapy a try, contact some dance places, community centers, and\u00a0physical therapy<\/a>\u00a0offices in your area to inquire about where it may be offered. If they don\u2019t offer it yet, maybe they will once they hear of this research.<\/p>\n
