Article Synopsis
- Chronic low back pain (cLBP) often leads to avoidance or distraction strategies, but the Mind Your Pain (MyP) app shows promise as a mind-body intervention for relief.
- A study with 29 participants assessed the app's effectiveness over 8 weeks, finding significant reductions in pain using the Pain, Enjoyment of Life and General Activity Scale (PEG).
- Results indicated that participants who responded well to MyP displayed increased activation in specific brain areas related to pain, suggesting potential neural biomarkers for cLBP management through mind-body approaches.
