Abstract
Development of Multi-Family Group and Mindfulness Treatment for Chronic Pain: Preliminary Outcomes
Highlights
Chronic Pain (CP) affects over 100 million people in the US and is responsible for $635 billion in direct and indirect costs annually
These findings inform the development and implementation of a randomized clinical trial to evaluate changes observed in Multi-family Group (MFG)-Mindfulness against nonspecific effects of treatment
In contrast to the remarkable changes seen on a number of measures for the chronic pain participants, little change was observed in their caregivers
Summary
Chronic Pain (CP) affects over 100 million people in the US and is responsible for $635 billion in direct and indirect costs annually These CP expenditures are greater than the 6 most costly diagnoses of cardiovascular disease, cancer, injuries, and endocrine/metabolic, digestive, and respiratory disorders [1]. Behavioral and family education and support can reduce pain intensity and related negative consequences of pain This treatment development study examined the feasibility and participant satisfaction of a Mindfulness/Multi-Family Group Intervention for Chronic Pain (MFG-CP) patients and their care partners
