NCT ID NCT05875207

First seen Jan 31, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study looked at whether adding mindfulness training to physical therapy is a practical way to help people with long-term muscle and joint pain who also take opioids. Researchers trained physical therapists in mindfulness and then checked how well they could teach these skills to patients. The main goal was to see if a larger study would be possible, not to prove the treatment works. About 93 people took part.
