Study Summary

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is one of the most common, costly and disabling conditions. It is often refractory to treatment, with patients requiring long-term opioid therapy. Mindfulness meditation is a promising treatment for chronic pain, mental health and addictive disorders. When combined with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a standard of care for CLBP, it may produce additive benefits. The goal of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of an innovative behavioral intervention to improve the health of adults with opioid-treated CLBP. This RCT will test the hypotheses that, at 26 weeks, meditation-CBT group participants (meditation-CBT + usual care), compared to those in a wait-list control group (usual care alone), will improve health-related quality of life (primary outcomes: pain severity and physical function) and reduce opioid medication use (secondary outcome). In addition, they will also decrease alcohol and drug use/misuse, and improve stress-sensitive measures and economic outcomes.

Primary Outcome

Averaged pain is the average of 4 responses on a 0-10 numerical rating scale (0=no pain; 10=worst possible pain) from the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI): 1) describe your pain at its worst in the last week 2) describe your pain at its least in the last week 3) describe your pain on the average 4) describe your pain right now. This outcome measure for 8 week follow up is expressed as a difference score (change from baseline to 8 week measure), with positive values indicating increased pain and negat
