Summary

The overall objective of this study is to better understand how Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is the most helpful in terms of management of chronic pain symptoms.

The studies hypothesis is that an Interventional Response Phenotyping study (light phenotyping) can identify individuals with different underlying mechanisms for their pain who thus respond differentially to evidence-based interventions for chronic pain disorders.

MBSR treatment

Participants will complete pre-treatment surveys followed by 8-weekly 2-hour group sessions and one 4-hour "retreat" (may take place virtually or in-person).
