Feasibility of a Mind-Body Program for Chronic Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Increasing physical function for individuals in chronic pain is challenging. Despite the Initiative on Methods, Measurement, and Pain Assessment in Clinical Trials guidelines, no pain trial has comprehensively assessed multimodal physical function (ie, self-reported, performance-based, and objective or step count-based measures), and most of these trials have limited racial and ethnic diversity.

Objective

To test the feasibility of a mind-body walking program and a health education program among geographically, racially, and ethnically diverse sedentary adults with chronic pain.

Design, setting, and participants

This single-blind, 2-arm, feasibility randomized clinical trial was conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital in the Northeast, Duke University i
