 the low sleep quality and pain in girls with primary dysmenorrhea, this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of self-compassion training and positive attitude to experience sleep quality and decrease of pain intensity in girls with primary dysmenorrhea.

 The research was semi-experienced that was conducted as a multi-group, pre-test, and post-test. The sample of the study was girls with primary dysmenorrhea, which were characterized among students in the first district of Rasht City (first and second high school) and were placed in three experimental and control groups. To collect the data and to screen the questionnaire for premenstrual symptoms, Peters Burg’s sleep quality questionnaire, and McGill’s intensity of pain questionnaire were applied. A one-way Analysis Of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used for analyzing data.

 Positive thinking training and self-compassion training were effective in increasing sleep quality and decreased intensity of pain in girls with primary dysmenorrhea (P<0.001). The effect of positive thinking on quality of life was more than compassion training (P<0.005), but self-compassion does not affect pain severity.

 Findings indicate the impact of training and self-compassion in preventing the neuropsychological well-being of girls with primary dysmenorrhea.

Aim and Chronic pain self-management is one of the improvement, rehabilitation and prevent worsening of the pain programs influenced by several factors such as severity of pain and type of recurrent and continuous chronic pain, that the present study examines these two factors through catastrophic thoughts and pain self-efficacy.
Methods and Materials: This study was descriptive and correlational which using available sampling was done in 1394 on 301 patients with backbone chronic pain. In this study, descriptive and inferential statistical methods such as fitting parameters, path coefficients and its significance in path analysis were used.
Findings: The results obtained from path coefficient test indicate direct effects of self-efficacy (positively) and catastrophic thoughts )negatively) on the self-management, also pain intensity indirectly affect pain self management, but this effect was not significant in recurrent and continuous chronic pain.
In chronic backbone pain self-management, in addition to disease characteristics we must pay special attention to cognitive factors such as self-efficacy and catastrophic thoughts and through this increase the areas of pain management.

Tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common type of headache in different societies. TTH is a prototypical headache in which myofascial pain of neck muscles can play an important etiological role. Weakness of upper posterior muscles of neck is a common accompaniment of myofascial pain in this region. Thus the purpose of this study was to compare the strength of upper posterior neck muscles in women with chronic tension headache and healthy women. The strength of superior-posterior neck muscles in 33 women (16 chronic tension headache and 17 healthy individuals) were examined by The Power meter. An independent t-test was used to analyze the data and compare the groups. Results showed a significant difference between women with chronic tension headache and healthy ones (p=0. 021). The results also showed inverse relationship between intensity of pain and the strength. (r=-0. 65، p=0. 006) According to the results of this study, women with chronic tension headache had lower posterior upper cervical muscles strength than healthy controls. These results may reflect a disturbance in the upper posterior neck muscles musculoskeletal system in the patients which may be primary to TTH or secondary and as a result of TTH. Further studies are required to extend our knowledge in this area.
