Article Synopsis
- Chronic low back pain (CLBP) affects many adults and is often treated with opioids, which can have harmful effects; this study aims to compare cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based therapy (MBT) as safer alternatives.
- The research is a large-scale, randomized controlled trial involving 766 participants receiving either CBT or MBT through structured group sessions over 12 months.
- The study will assess changes in pain intensity, function, quality of life, and opioid use, while also exploring factors like depression and anxiety that might affect treatment outcomes.
