A Single-Session, 2-Hour Version of Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (One MORE) Improves Chronic Pain Patients' Pain-Related Outcomes Through 3-Month Follow-Up in a Randomized Controlled Trial.

A 2-hour single-session version of Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (One MORE) improved chronic pain patients' pain catastrophizing, pain intensity, pain interference, physical function, sleep, anxiety, and depression through a 3-month follow-up. The intervention also increased mindfulness, positive reappraisal, savoring, and self-transcendence. These results from a waitlist-controlled randomized trial with 40 participants suggest that a brief, scalable, low-cost nonpharmacologic treatment may help address the logistical barriers of longer 8-week mindfulness-based interventions for chronic pain.

Complementary therapies for chronic knee pain: A placebo-controlled RCT of Reiki and mindfulness.

Complementary Therapies in Medicine December 1, 2025 Adam W. Hanley, Yoshio Nakamura, Robert R Edwards et al.

Both Reiki and mindfulness meditation significantly reduced knee osteoarthritis symptoms compared to doing nothing, with over half of participants in those groups reporting a clinically meaningful reduction of more than 30% in symptoms after just four weekly 30-minute sessions. The improvements from mindfulness were significantly better than those from a sham Reiki procedure, while Reiki's effects were comparable to mindfulness. The study involved 164 adults with physician-confirmed knee osteoarthritis and had high retention and successful blinding, supporting the reliability of the results. These findings suggest that both therapies may be effective, well-tolerated, and time-efficient options for managing knee osteoarthritis pain.
