Summary

This study compares two community-based programs for adults with long-term back or neck pain. One program teaches mind-body skills like mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques, while the other focuses on general health and well-being. Participants attend nine weekly sessions and report their pain levels and quality of life over six months. The goal is to see which approach better reduces pain and helps people enjoy daily activities more.
