Summary

This study explored whether adding mindfulness training to physical therapy is practical for people with long-term muscle and joint pain who also take opioid painkillers. Researchers developed a training manual for physical therapists and tested different ways to teach them mindfulness techniques. The goal was to see if this combined approach could be tested in a larger future study, not to prove it works yet. About 93 patients and their therapists took part.
