Summary

This pilot study tests whether a 2-hour mindfulness training program, called Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE), can help people living with both HIV and chronic pain. The study enrolls 40 adults with HIV who also have chronic pain and are willing to avoid new treatments during the study. Researchers will measure how feasible and acceptable the program is, and whether participants report any improvement in their pain and overall well-being.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) – a structured mindfulness training program
What this could lead to
If successful, this brief mindfulness program could offer a low-cost, drug-free way to help people with HIV and chronic pain better manage their discomfort and improve quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (40 people) focused on feasibility, not on proving effectiveness. The results may not apply to everyone, and the program may not provide lasting pain relief.
