Objective: The present study aims to compare irrational beliefs, self-efficacy, and psychological well-being in healthy individuals and patients with migraine headaches. This study is a cross-sectional-comparative post event. Method: The statistical universe of this research includes all men and women suffering from migraine headaches, and all healthy men and women in Ardabil in 1390 (A.H). The subjects were 30 patients suffering from migraine headaches referred to psychological, neurological, and brain clinics selected by convenience sampling method, as well as 30 healthy people selected by cloning method (based on age, education level, and social-economic status). To collect data, the questionnaires of irrational beliefs, self-efficacy, and psychological well-being were used. Result: The results of multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and correlational coefficient showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups "Migraine sufferers and Healthy people" in terms of three variables of "self-efficacy, irrational beliefs, and psychological well-being" in the level of P≥0.01. Conclusion: The results showed that most psychological problems had their roots in irrational thoughts and beliefs about self, others and the world around. In other words, irrational beliefs in migraine patients cause stress and anxiety in their life, and much more difficulties in matters concerning life.
