Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement for Addictive Behavior, Psychiatric Distress, and Chronic Pain: A Multilevel Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

A multilevel meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials examined Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE), a treatment integrating mindfulness, reappraisal, and savoring. Across studies, MORE reduced addictive behavior and psychiatric distress and alleviated chronic pain compared with control conditions. The analysis aggregated effect sizes across trials, indicating consistent benefits for these outcomes. The authors suggest MORE is an effective intervention for co-occurring addiction, mental health issues, and pain, though they note the need for further research to confirm long-term effects and mechanisms.
