Mindfulness-based interventions via telehealth improved chronic pain among veterans.
Mindfulness-based interventions via telehealth improves pain-related function and biopsychosocial outcomes in veterans with chronic pain as compared with usual care.Researchers conducted a randomized clinical trial of 811 veterans who had moderate to severe chronic pain and were recruited from three Veterans Affairs facilities in the United States.
Participants were divided into three groups: Group MBI , self-paced MBI , and usual care , with interventions lasting 8 weeks. The primary outcome was pain-related function measured using a scale on interference from pain in areas like mood, walking, work, relationships, and sleep at 10 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year.
Secondary outcomes included pain intensity, anxiety, fatigue, sleep disturbance, participation in social roles and activities, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder .Pain-related function significantly improved in participants in both the MBI groups vs usual care group, with a mean difference of −0.4 for group MBI and −0.7 for self-paced MBI to initial recruitment may have affected the generalizability of the findings.
