A recent study published in JAMA Network Open highlights the effectiveness of mindfulness-based therapy (MBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in reducing lower back pain for patients. This research involved 770 participants, many of whom were previously treated with opioids. The study revealed significant improvements in pain management, function, and overall quality of life, while also leading to a reduction in opioid dosages. The findings underscore the need for accessible, effective treatments that help individuals manage pain without relying on medication that carries risks of addiction.
"The study was also unique in that it focused on patients who had previously been treated with opioids, highlighting effective alternatives to reduce reliance on these painkillers."
"Mindfulness training helps people accept their lower back pain, which could, in turn, reduce its severity and improve their overall quality of life."
