Migraine headaches are of the most common problems that result in psychological, educational, and career outcomes. This research aims to measure the migraine headaches epidemiology in girl students and the impacts of Fordyce Happiness teaching on the decrease of migraine symptoms and the increase of happiness in them. To this purpose 230 girl students of Persian Gulf University of Bushehr studying in 1391_1392 were randomly selected as samples, 30 of whom participated in quasi-experimental research (15 in treatment group, 15 in control group). The instruments used were Ahvaz Migraine questionnaire (Najjarian, 1376) and Argil and Low Happiness questionnaire (1990). Eight 60-minute sessions of happiness teaching were held and no teaching were adopted to control group. At the end of the teaching sessions post-test was given to both groups. The results from the analysis of the multi-value variance revealed that after teaching happiness, the treatment group in the case of life satisfaction had a meaningful increase and teaching happiness results in decrease of migraine symptoms in girl students. Thus it infers that teaching happiness with cognitive-behavior manner has been affective on the decrease of migraine headache and causes in life satisfaction of the participants. It seems that during the treatment of patients who suffer from migraine, Fordyce teaching happiness can be used as a way of complementary treatment aside drug treatment.
