Abstract
Mindfulness training has been reported as beneficial
for reducing symptoms in several chronic pain
conditions, including headache (1,2). One potential
mechanism for the therapeutic effects of mindfulness
may be a reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokine
(PIC) levels. Cytokines are regulatory proteins
secreted by numerous cells including immune cells in
the periphery and microglia in the Central Nervous
System (CNS).
