ABSTRACT Millions of people each year suffer from chronic low back pain (cLBP), which adversely affects their physical and mental health. While non-pharmacological interventions such as mindfulness are known to be effective in treating cLBP, not all patients experience the same benefit. Determining who these treatments might work best for is difficult, as there are no reliable predictors of the...

Introduction/Aim: Mindful breathing is a commonly used approach in pain management. Repetitive and intrusive mind-wandering related to pain is likely to be stressful for people with chronic pain, but few studies have measured pain-related mind-wandering during mindfulness meditation (MM) for chronic pain. Methods This study examined mind-wandering during a smartphone-based MM task in 99...
