Quality of Life

45 patients from the community of patients with primary headache symptoms of Khatam Al-Anbia Hospital will be purposefully selected based on sample adequacy (Sarmad, Hejazi and Bazargan, (1997) in experimental and quasi-experimental research recommend at least 15 to 20 people for each group). The assignment of both experimental groups, including compassion-based emotion therapy and compassion-based therapy, and the control group will be a simple random lottery. In this way, each sample person is given a special code and then the codes are poured into a bag or container and mixed. It then pulls out the codes one by one, writes down their number, and so on until the groups are completed. Then, for random and unpredictable allocation of 15 people in the first, second and third groups for two experimental groups and one control group, coin toss will be used.
