Introduction: Studies on migraine psychiatric disease indicate that the disease is chronic and in this study the mediating role of dysfunctional attitudes on the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and clinical syndrome of migraineurs has been studied. Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of dysfunctional attitudes in relation to early maladaptive schemas and clinical syndrome in people with migraine. Method: The research method is path analysis. Regarding this study, it should be noted that the study population was Migrants of Mashhad with 96 males and 161 females and sampling was available. From this sample, 257 questionnaires were submitted to the researcher. Yang Schema Questionnaire(short form)،DAS-26 and DASS-21 questionnaires were used in this study. Results: The findings showed that indirect pathways of the model are significant and this indicates a significant (P<0.05) mediating role of dysfunctional attitudes in the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and clinical syndrome in migraine patients. Conclusion: The results showed that dysfunctional attitudes play a mediating role between early maladaptive schemas and clinical symptoms of migraine. Therefore, in patients with migraine, the dysfunctional attitudes of these individuals can be adjusted using the psychological method and this in turn will be effective in improving the clinical symptoms of migraine.
