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.

Detailed description

Participants enrolled in this study will receive 8 weeks of MBSR therapy and complete surveys at various time points pre-treatment - post treatment.

Conditions

• Chronic Pain Syndrome

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	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). Participants will also be asked to practice daily formal mindfulness at home using assigned audio recordings of 30-45 minute guided mindfulness exercises. Participants will complete surveys during treatment as well as after treatment and then at 2 months follow-up.
