Clinical Trial Summary

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) combines ideas of traditional cognitive therapies with meditative practices aimed at cultivating mindfulness. Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) is considered one of the original mindfulness-based interventions. It has been modified to be offered virtually,which has been useful throughout the COVID pandemic, and more importantly, has served to inform other mindfulness approaches, such as trauma-focused therapy. The investigators want to assess the efficacy of MBSR in patients with Chronic Pain undergoing drug treatment.

Clinical Trial Description

Mindfulness helps develop the ability to observe and detach from our mental, sensory, and emotional states, and thus increases our awareness and ability to manage emotions. In the experimental arm, some have been foreseen group sessions, in which a maximum of ten people participate on the Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). The protocol provides for eight meetings (one and a half or two hours each) on a monthly basis, for a total duration, therefore, of twelve months. ;
