Summary

This trial tests whether combining mindfulness-based stress reduction with physiotherapy can help older adults manage chronic musculoskeletal pain. Participants aged 65 and older will attend 8 weekly mindfulness sessions alongside 20 physiotherapy sessions, with a 3-month follow-up. Researchers will measure pain intensity, anxiety, fatigue, sleep quality, and fear of movement to see if the combined approach offers relief.

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 stress reduction (MBSR) combined with physiotherapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug way to help older adults manage chronic pain and improve their quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program requires commitment, and benefits may vary.
