Abstract: Introduction: Headache is one of the most common medical complaints and a debilitating neurological disorder in neurology clinics that affects the personality of patients. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of commitment and acceptance therapy and intensive and short-term screening on personality organization, emotion regulation in women with tension headaches. Research method: This study was a semi-experimental method with a pre-test, post-test and two-month follow-up plan with a control group. The target population was all patients with tension headaches who referred to the specialized neurology clinic in Tehran in 1402. The sample size was determined by referring to Cohen's table. Since there was a possibility of some samples dropping and also in order to generalize the results, the sample size was determined to be 15 people in each group. In the first step, 45 people were selected by available sampling method, and in the second step, these 45 people were replaced in 2 experimental groups (15 people) and a control group (15 people) in a simple random way (by lottery). Findings: The results of the study indicated the effect of commitment and acceptance method and intensive and short-term dynamic psychotherapy on the dimensions of personality organization and emotion regulation in tension headache sufferers (P<0.001) and the effectiveness of both methods was similar (0.5 0<P). Conclusion: According to the results, specialists active in the psycho-physical field, especially tension headaches, can consider the use of commitment and acceptance methods and intensive and short-term dynamic psychotherapy in the treatment of these people, along with other treatments.
