Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy in perfectionism of patients with migraine headache. Using pretest-posttest based quasi-experimental design, with a three-group design. Using quasi-experimental design based on pre-test and post-test, three groups of patients with migraine headaches referring to Mashhad neurology clinic were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were randomly divided into three groups (two experimental groups and one control group, each group 15).  The perfectionism questionnaire was used to collect information. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance (MONCOVA) and Bonferroni post hoc test. Based on the results, both cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy significantly reduced perfectionism in patients with migraine headache. The results also showed that mindfulness based cognitive therapy has a greater effect on reducing perfectionism in patients with migraine headache. In general, interventions based on mindfulness and cognitive behavioral principles can play a fundamental role in ensuring the psychological health of patients with migraine headache.

Abstract
This review study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) in reducing social anxiety among adolescents. A systematic search was conducted across Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, Magiran, and IranDoc using relevant keywords. Studies assessing MBCT’s impact on adolescent social anxiety with a PEDro score above 5 were included. From 43 identified articles, 6 met the inclusion criteria. Findings indicated that MBCT significantly reduces social anxiety in adolescents, though variations in methodology, sample size, and assessment tools were observed. These results underscore MBCT’s potential as an effective intervention for social anxiety. It is recommended that MBCT be integrated into school-based counseling and mental health programs. Further research with standardized methodologies is needed to explore MBCT’s efficacy across diverse cultural contexts.

Abstract
The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on rumination and depressive symptoms in students with major depressive disorder. This study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included all students with major depressive disorder referred to the Tehran Health Center in 1404, from which 30 students with major depressive disorder were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. The experimental group underwent 8 90-minute sessions of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy intervention, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Data collection tools included the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) and the Rumination Scale (RRS). Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance. The results of data analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the mean pre-test and post-test scores of the experimental group in rumination variables and depressive symptoms. In fact, participating in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy sessions led to a significant reduction in the repetition of unwanted thoughts and the alleviation of clinical symptoms of depression in students. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, by teaching the skills of being present in the moment and accepting without judgment, is an effective tool for managing repetitive thoughts and improving the mental state of students with major depression and can be used as a complementary intervention in university counseling centers.
