A reanalysis of a randomized trial on meditation for migraine headaches: Distraction is not enough but meditation takes time.

CONCLUSION: This suggests that cognitively active forms of meditation are more effective in reducing migraine headache pain and negative mood than distraction techniques. However, individuals engaging in these strategies need to consistently practice these techniques for approximately 20 days to proactively reduce migraine headache pain and negative mood.
