A fast-acting, user-friendly, and non-opioid pain treatment for chronic pain sufferers.
Chronic low back pain is the most common pain condition that lacks an effective, fast, and safe treatment.
A recent study addressed these concerns using a “sham mindfulness meditation” technique. The sham method was designed to isolate the various factors involved, such as the subjects’ beliefs and expectations about the benefits of mindfulness meditation, changes in respiration, the variable degree of conditioning of each subject, and hopefully any other placebo-related effects.
Mindfulness meditation training was more effective at reducing movement-evoked chronic pain as compared to a placebo-mindfulness technique. In addition, the analgesia achieved by mindfulness was not reversed by blocking the endogenous opioid system. Apparently, the endogenous opioid system is not responsible for the pain relief elicited by mindfulness-based meditation.
