No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The usual coping mechanism with chronic pain is distraction, It is unclear whether the opposite, sensory monitoring, can benefit patients with chronic low back pain (cLBP). The study assesses the feasibility and acceptability of a 2-minute phone-based attention exercise, used several times a day over 8 weeks plus a 1-hour introduction, in patients with cLBP. The attention exercise is based on mindfulness-based interoceptive exposure, a task that has been tested before in a mixed pain population in Australia.
