Summary

While guideline-directed nonpharmacological strategies for chronic low back pain are well established, optimal chronic pain management for emergency department patients has yet to be defined. Mindfulness interventions can be used for management of chronic conditions, yet are understudied as a primary approach for patients with chronic pain discharged from the emergency department. Currently, there is limited evidence examining whether an individual telehealth mindfulness intervention is a feasible and acceptable for these patients. This study will develop, pilot, and evaluate the feasibility and effects of an 8-session (12-week) telehealth mindfulness intervention for patients with an acute exacerbation of chronic low back pain
