Can learning compassion ease Veterans' pain and stress?

NCT ID NCT04651296

Summary

This study tested whether a compassion meditation program could help Veterans who have both chronic pain and conditions like PTSD or depression. Researchers compared the meditation program to a standard health education course to see which was better at reducing pain interference and improving mental health. The goal was to find a new approach to help Veterans manage these often-linked conditions together.
