Key Points Question What is the comparative effectiveness of mindfulness-based therapy (MBT) and standard-of-care cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) among adults with opioid-treated chronic low back pain (CLBP)? Findings In this randomized clinical trial of 770 adults with opioid-treated CLBP, although there were no differences between groups, both the MBT and CBT groups experienced improved...
Lung function and respiratory muscle play important roles in the structural function of the respiratory system, and (1, 2) that impaired respiratory muscle may lead to decreased lung function due to as a result of pressure gradients and impaired air exchange across the alveolar surfaces. Aerobic exercise, physical activity, and breathing exercises were effective as intervention therapies....
IntroductionPain habituation, the reduction in response to repeated painful stimuli, is a positive adaptation process, while pain sensitization is linked to chronic pain. Traits like mindfulness and extraversion affect pain processing, but their influence on pain adaptation and potential interactions remains underexplored. This study aimed to examine the relationship between trait mindfulness,...
Breast cancer causes numerous physical complications and mental stress that negatively impact patients’ performance and quality of life. This study examined the effects of mindfulness-integrated cognitive behavior therapy (MICBT) on depression, anxiety, stress, and sleep quality in women with breast cancer. A clinical trial design with pre-tests and post-tests and a two-month follow-up were...
Objectives/Goals: The purpose of this study was to explore pharmacists’ and patients’ attitudes, contextual barriers, organizational readiness, and preferences regarding implementation of a mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program for chronic pain management in the community pharmacy setting in rural Alabama. Methods/Study Population: Pharmacists in independently owned community...
Abstract Objectives The assessment of state mindfulness often involves detecting mindful experiences during formal practices such as meditation. However, state mindfulness is also experienced moment by moment throughout typical daily experiences. The current research employed the day reconstruction method (DRM) to assess whether different components of state mindfulness, captured via...

Prospective memory (PM) is the ability to remember a delayed intention to perform in a specific future situation. According to the extent to which PM cues overlap with ongoing task processing, PM can be divided into focal PM and non-focal PM. Mindfulness meditation includes focused attention (FA) meditation and open monitoring (OM) meditation. The present study was conducted with 81...
Low back pain (LBP) is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are effective for LBP management when combined with medication and physical therapy. An understanding of patients' willingness to pay (WTP) and preferences is needed to integrate MBIs into standard LBP care. We examined WTP and preferences for MBIs, as well as associated factors, among...
Interest in technology supporting meditation continues to grow commercially and academically. Commonly, these approaches look at how audio-visual feedback based on physiological indicators can help induce a state of meditation. Haptic feedback is now seen as a promising alternative to audio-visual stimuli for meditation. However, as yet, little work has investigated how to personalize haptic...
