BACKGROUND: Studies of @entity4512 @entity1 confirm that acceptance of @entity158 and values-based action are strong predictors of @entity158 and that interventions fostering " @entity458 " confer positive outcomes. However, data on these processes in @entity2704 remain limited. This cross-sectional study examined relations between components of @entity458 and @entity10 among treatment-seeking migraineurs. METHODS: A total of 103 adults (M age   =   41.5 (11.9) years; 88.2% female) with ICHD-confirmed @entity2704 (71.8% episodic, 28.2% chronic) across three clinics completed measures of @entity458 and @entity10 . Hierarchical regressions quantified relations between acceptance/values-based action and @entity10 variables after first controlling for @entity158 severity and gender. RESULTS: Acceptance of @entity158 and values-based action accounted for 10% of unique variance in @entity10 severity (  R(2) p   =   0.006) and up to 20% in @entity10 (  R(2) ps   =   0.02 and   <   0.001) but were weakly related to @entity10 frequency. Psychological flexibility was more strongly associated with MIDAS-measured disability than was @entity10 severity or @entity10 frequency. Significant effects were typically of medium-to-large size and driven primarily by values-based action. CONCLUSIONS: Paralleling results from the broader @entity1118 literature, @entity158 acceptance and values-based action play significant roles in @entity158 and disability. Further study of interventions targeting these processes may enhance existing treatments.
