Mindfulness Texting for Opioid Use Disorder and Chronic Pain
This study is testing if daily mindfulness text messages can help people with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and chronic pain. The messages are based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP). You would receive these messages for 6 weeks, and medication reminders for 12 weeks. Researchers want to see if these messages help you take your medication as prescribed and manage pain, cravings, and withdrawal symptoms. They will also look at how much you engage with the messages and if the program is acceptable and practical. To join, you need to be 18 or older, live in the US, have a mobile phone with texting, reliable internet, and be willing to follow study procedures.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 60 participants. It compares two different schedules of mindfulness text messages (two or four messages daily) and is blinded, meaning you won't know which schedule you're on.
- What's involved
- You would receive daily mindfulness text messages for 6 weeks and daily medication reminder texts for 12 weeks. You will also complete assessment questions six times daily throughout the treatment period.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your acceptability and feasibility of the intervention will be measured up to 12 weeks (3 months) after the study starts.

What this trial measures
- Engagement with mindfulness text messagesMeasured daily for six weeks
Engagement with the mindfulness text messages is assessed using one binary item asking whether participants thought about or used any suggestion from the MiMA Study text messages since that morning and one 11-point rating (0 = not at all to 10 = very much) assessing the extent to which participants thought about or used the suggestions. Participants also rate the extent to which the mindfulness text messages helped them manage pain, opioid craving, medication adherence, and withdrawal symptoms (0 = not at all to 10 = very much).
- Intervention acceptabilityFrom baseline to 12-week (i.e., 3-month) follow-up
Acceptability will be assessed using an adapted message fatigue questionnaire and intervention engagement scale. Items are rated on 5-point Likert scales, with mean scores greater than 3 indicating acceptable levels of intervention satisfaction.
- Intervention feasibilityFrom baseline to 12-week (i.e., 3-month) follow-up
Feasibility will be evaluated using recruitment, retention, and survey completion rates. Prespecified benchmarks include recruitment of at least 50% of eligible participants and retention rates of at least 75%, 65%, and 55% at Weeks 3, 6, and 12, respectively. Responding to EMA on 25%, 50%, and 75% of days will indicate a low, medium, and high level of feasibility, respectively.
