Did you know virtual mindfulness-based practices were helpful in relieving chronic pain in Veterans? In a study of veterans with moderate-to-severe chronic pain, 8-week virtual group or self-paced mindfulness-based interventions were more helpful than usual care in improving pain-related function. This study, which was part of the Pain Management Collaborative (PMC), a large-scale effort to assess non-drug treatments for pain in the military and veterans’ health care systems, was supported by the PMC Coordinating Center, which is funded by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health and published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.
The researchers who conducted this study concluded that these two scalable, relatively low-resource interventions could help accelerate the implementation of non-drug pain treatment in health care systems.
Another value of mindfulness practices. Imagine the positive impact this would have if we encouraged mindfulness-based practices for our teams. Less pain, more focus, happier employees.
