Mindfulness-based interventions have a positive impact on pain, craving, and well-being in both patients with chronic pain and those with opioid use disorder (OUD). Although data are limited, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) might be a promising treatment for patients with chronic noncancer pain combined with OUD. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore the feasibility and process of change during MBCT in this particular population.
