Cognitive therapy (CT), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and behavior therapy (BT) for chronic pain treatment produce outcome improvements. Evidence also suggests that changes in putative therapeutic mechanisms are associated with changes in outcomes. Nonetheless, methodological limitations preclude clear understanding of how psychosocial chronic pain treatments work. In this comparative mechanism study, we examined evidence for specific and shared mechanism effects across the three treatments.
