First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 04, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study tests a treatment that combines two therapies—Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP)—to help people with both chronic pain and opioid use disorder. About 160 adults already stable on buprenorphine will be randomly assigned to either this combined therapy or enhanced usual care. The goal is to see if the combined therapy reduces pain interference and helps prevent relapse.
