Summary
This study tests whether an online insomnia treatment, followed by either a meditation program or pain education, can reduce pain in adults with chronic low back pain and insomnia. About 300 participants will first complete a 9-week internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, then be assigned to additional meditation or pain education. The goal is to see if this two-step approach lowers pain intensity and improves sleep, mood, and daily function.
