Summary

This project is a single-site, two-arm, pilot study assessing the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a 5-minute Mindful Mapping intervention for adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain (n=60) relative to a time- and attention-matched control condition.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mindful Mapping

Participants in the Mindful Mapping condition will receive a 5-minute, therapist-guided mindfulness intervention for chronic pain. During this training they will learn the 30-second Mindful Mapping technique, which they will be instructed to use each time they experience a painful sensation over the next 2 weeks. The Mindful Mapping technique consists of focusing on five basic characteristics (shape, weight, density, temperature, movement) of the most intense sensation in the body as it emerges in the present moment while remaining equanimous, i.e., preventing the learned reaction.

BEHAVIORAL

Serial Sevens

Participants in the control condition will receive a 5-minute, therapist-guided "serial sevens" intervention for chronic pain. During this training, participants will be instructed that each time they experience pain, they will count backwards in their heads by 7 from 100 for 30 second.
