Brief Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement vs. Brief Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain

This study is for adults experiencing chronic pain and is comparing two short behavioral therapies: Brief Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (B-MORE) and Brief Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (B-CBT). Both are 2-hour versions of longer programs. The goal is to see how practical and acceptable these brief therapies are for people with chronic pain. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have chronic pain with an average pain level of more than 3 in the last week, and can understand English or Spanish. You cannot join if you have had formal mindfulness or CBT training before. The study plans to enroll 120 participants.

Study design: This is a randomized controlled trial comparing two behavioral interventions. It plans to enroll 120 participants.
What's involved: You would participate in a 2-hour behavioral intervention. Assessments are done at the first and final treatment sessions.
Compensation: Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up: Follow-up for feasibility is measured at the first and final treatment sessions. Acceptability is measured upon completion of the final treatment session.
