Summary

This study compares two short behavioral therapies—mindfulness (B-MORE) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)—for adults with chronic pain. Both treatments are just two hours long and offered in English or Spanish. The goal is to see if these brief programs are practical and acceptable, and whether they help reduce pain, depression, and anxiety.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: brief mindfulness-oriented recovery enhancement (B-MORE) and brief cognitive-behavioral therapy (B-CBT)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that a short, two-hour mindfulness or CBT session helps ease chronic pain and related symptoms like depression and anxiety.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage feasibility study with only 120 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The interventions are very brief, which may limit their effectiveness.
