Mindfulness and cognitive behavioural therapy could help people reduce their back pain and lower their use of opioids, according to a US study. The trial included over 700 adults who were treating their back pain with opioids and who were split into two groups to receive either cognitive behavioural therapy or mindfulness-based therapy. The study found that regardless of the type of therapy, both groups had improvements in their levels of pain, function, and health-related quality of life and were able to reduce their opioid dosage.
