Summary

The primary objective for this pilot study is to determine if the Mindfulness-Based Chronic Pain Management (MBCPM) intervention would decrease pain and pain catastrophizing and increase pain acceptance in participants with chronic pain. The secondary objective is to explore if MBCPM will reduce depression and increase quality of life and mindfulness in the same group of participants. The additional aim of the pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of conducting the MBCPM intervention in participants with chronic pain. We hypothesize that participants with chronic pain will show relatively good compliance with completing the MBCPM protocol and will show increased satisfaction associated with improvement in pain-related and other psychosocial indicators of functioning.

BEHAVIORAL

Mindfulness Based Chronic Pain Management Intervention

Mindfulness-Based Chronic Pain Management (MBCPM) is an intervention developed by Jackie Gardner-Nix, MD for individuals suffering from chronic pain. The focus of MBCPM is to teach clients skills that will facilitate the development of detached observation and reduce the experience of suffering through cognitive re-appraisal. The activities used within MBCPM include mindfulness meditation, gentle stretching/mindful movement, guided imagery, art techniques, psychoeducation, and discussion. There are daily homework assignments of just 5-30 minutes a day in MBCPM. Each class is two hours long with a break in the middle.
