Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of stress management training based on cognitive-behavioral approach on reducing emotional problems, sleep quality and intensity of pain experience in women with chronic tension headaches. Method: According to the random assignment of subjects and control comparison group, the research method is semi-experimental. The statistical population included all female clients suffering from chronic tension headaches to the specialized pain clinic of Khatam Al Anbia Hospital in Tehran in 2022, among whom 34 people were selected by convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two groups. 17 people were tested and controlled. In order to collect data, the chronic pain rating questionnaire (Van Kuroff et al., 1990), the sleep quality questionnaire (Bois et al., 1989) and the emotional regulation difficulties questionnaire (Gratz and Romer, 2004) were used. The experimental group received stress management therapy based on the cognitive-behavioral approach for two and a half months in 10 sessions 60-minutes. Data analysis was done with descriptive statistics, statistical assumptions test and multivariate covariance analysis with SPSS version 26. Results: The results show that there is a significant difference between the subjects of the experimental and control groups in terms of the post-test of the dependent variables (emotional dysregulation score - sleep quality - intensity of pain experience) with the pre-test control. The effect size shows that 69.5% of the difference between the two groups is related to the experimental program. he results of multivariate covariance analysis (MANCOVA) show that stress management training based on cognitive-behavioral theory (by controlling the effect of the pre-test as a confounding factor on the post-test) reduces the emotional dysregulation score (F=53.819, 000) P=0.0 and η=0.650), increased sleep quality (F=4.876, P=0.035 and η=0.444) and decreased intensity of pain experience (F=2.303, P=0.004 and η=0.377) had a significant effect. Conclusion: Stress management treatment based on cognitive-behavioral theory was effective and efficient in reducing emotional problems, sleep quality and intensity of pain experience in women with chronic tension headache. Stress management training based on cognitive-behavioral theory improves adaptive strategies and reduces the use of maladaptive strategies in female patients with headache and helps these people to reduce self-blame and blame others for suffering from the disease. This treatment can replace the control of positive emotions with negative emotions by informing and helping people's cognitive reconstruction. The cognitive-behavioral model helps the sick person to reduce negative emotional strategies and cope with pain and headache disease by correcting misplaced interpretations, guiding negative self-talk, correcting and reconstructing illogical thinking and ineffective and defective cognitions. and this cognitive reconstruction and reinterpretation of the pain and the existing situation causes less transfer of sensory-motor information of the headache and finally the perceived pain decreases.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy on mood swings, sleep quality and sexual function in postmenopausal women. Method: The research method was quasi-experimental type with pre-test and post-test design with experimental and control group. The statistical population of this study was all postmenopausal women referring to health centers in 7 District of Tehran in the first quarter of 1397. From this community, 30 people were selected and assigned to two experimental and control groups. Thirty women were selected from the statistical population based on the available sampling method, the experimental group was 15 and the control group was 15. The data was collected using a questionnaire by Watson et al. (1988), The woman’s Sexual Function index of Rosen et al (2000). And Pittsburgh sleep Quality index (1989). Then, multivariate analysis of covariance (statistical) Method was used to analyze the data. Findings: The findings showed that acceptance and commitment therapy can improve sexual function, reduce negative mood and sleep Quality in postmenopausal women. Conclusion: This treatment in contrast to cognitive therapy targets avoidance for their therapies in order to experience rather than control or change the negative assessments and creates a major opening. Therefore, Acceptance and commitment therapy can be used for improving sexual function, improving people's mood and increasing sleep Quality in postmenopausal women.

Objective: : Menstrual pain syndrome B as one of the most common gynecological problems in addition to health consequences has a negative impact on quality of life. Also the aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness training on psychological helplessness and sleep quality in girls with menstrual pain syndrome. Method: The research was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with a control and two-month follow-up group. The statistical population included all female students of Islamic Azad University, Kermanshah branch in 2021, who were selected by available sampling method of 40 people and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups (20 people in each group). Mindfulness was applied to the experimental group in 8 sessions of 1 hour (60 minutes) but the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were collected using premenstrual screening questionnaire, sleep quality questionnaire and psychological helplessness questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and repeated measures analysis of varias and SPSS statistical software were used to analyze the data. Findings: Mindfulness training program was effective in reducing psychological helplessness in the post-test phase (F= 74.19, P= 0.002 and Eta= 0.67). There was a significant difference between the mean sleep quality scores of the subjects in the two groups in the post-test stage (F= 13.85, P= 0.001 and Eta= 0.58). The positive effects of mindfulness training in the follow-up phase were sustained for research variables. Conclusion: It can be concluded that Mindfulness training has been an effective way to improve sleep quality and psychological health of patients with menstrual pain.

Objective: State-trait anxiety is one of the most important anxiety distributions (as an important factor in psychosomatic diseases). The purpose of this study was to investigate the moderating role of sleep quality in the relationship between state-trait anxiety with severity of symptoms in patients with a migraine headache diagnosis. Methods: The study design is correlation. The study population includes all patients with migraine headache diagnosis will be referred to Neurological medical centers of Isfahan in 2018 which among those, 80 subjects will select by convenient sampling and they were assessed through Questionnaires of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (Buysse, 1989), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger, 1983) and Severity of Migraine Symptoms (Najjarian, 1976). Data were analyzed by Hayes Process Software. Findings: The results showed that sleep quality has a significant moderating role in the relationship between state-trait anxiety with severity of migraine symptoms in the total sample, although the amount of this moderating in state anxiety has been more than trait anxiety (P
