Project Description:
Chronic pain patients deserve pain management strategies that are efficacious and non-addictive. Mindfulness- based interventions show promise but could be more effective if intentionally designed to increase pleasant sensations while decreasing pain. The proposed project will begin identifying the optimal style of mindfulness practice for increasing pleasant bodily sensations in the service of more effectively treating the millions of Americans misusing opioids to manage their chronic pain.
