Summary

This pilot study is testing a smartphone app called Mindful Journey that teaches mindfulness skills. The goal is to see if it is practical and acceptable for adults who are in treatment for opioid use disorder and also have chronic pain. Ten participants will use the app for 8 weeks, and researchers will measure how often they use it and how helpful they find it.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: Mindfulness-based smartphone app (Mindful Journey)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could point toward a practical, app-based tool to help people manage both opioid use disorder and chronic pain.
What could go wrong: This is a very small pilot study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It focuses on whether the app is usable and acceptable, not on proving it works.
