The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindful Self-Compassion Therapy (MSCT) on psychological distress and sleep quality in employed women suffering from migraine headaches. The present research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test-post-test and control group. The population of the study included all employed women suffering from migraine headaches in Rasht city in the year 2023. Sixty individuals were deliberately chosen from this pool and then randomly allocated into three groups, each consisting of 20 participants: experimental group 1, experimental group 2, and a control group. The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-42, Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI, Buysse et al., 1988) were used to collect data. Both experimental groups received interventions of ACT and MSCT once a week for a duration of 8 sessions, each lasting 90 minutes. The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance in SPSS24. The results indicated that, after controlling for the pre-test effects, there was a significant difference in the post-test mean scores of depression, anxiety, stress, and sleep quality among the three groups (P<0.01). Additionally, no significant difference was observed in the post-test mean scores between the ACT and MSCT groups at the 0.05 level (P>0.05). Based on the findings of this study, there is no significant difference between the effectiveness of ACT and MSCT.
