Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) has shown efficacy for alleviating chronic low back pain (cLBP) and is included in current treatment guidelines. However, benefits are moderate. We aimed to optimize MBSR for chronic pain by using recent research to develop Mindfulness-Based Pain Reduction (MBPR) and test it in patients with cLBP.
