NCT ID NCT06268522
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a mindfulness program helps people with chronic low back pain reduce their opioid use and feel less pain interference. 121 adults who were already planning to taper their opioids were randomly assigned to either mindfulness training or a standard education group. The goal was to see if mindfulness makes tapering easier and reduces pain's impact on daily life.
