Mind Body Syndrome Therapy for Chronic Pain
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Chronic Pain, Chronic Pain Syndrome
In brief
The goal of this study is to determine if a mind-body intervention can help people suffering from chronic back pain. The study is a randomized, partially blinded trial examining the effectiveness of a mind body intervention in reducing disability from back pain and alleviating back pain in participants as compared to usual care and an active control (second mind body intervention). The investigators will secondarily investigate whether the intervention alleviates anxiety related to the pain and other quality of life parameters.
