About
The purpose of this research study is to see if and how mindfulness meditation affects pain. Specifically, we are interested in assessing if mindfulness is associated with the release of naturally occurring opiates in the body, in response to intravenous (IV) administration of the opioid antagonist naloxone during a chronic low back pain provoking procedure.
Full description
The purpose of this psychophysical and pharmacologic study is to determine if meditation induced pain relief is mediated by endogenous opioids in response to intravenous (IV) administration of the opioid antagonist naloxone during a pain evoking straight leg raise test in response to double-blind intravenous administration (IV) of naloxone/placebo-saline. The aim of this study is to determine if mindfulness-based analgesia is associated with the release of endogenous opioids.
