About
This study compares the impact of cognitive-behavioral therapy for pain (CBT-P), mindful awareness and acceptance treatment (M), and arthritis education as an active control condition (E) on mental and physical health outcomes among adults with chronic pain due to fibromyalgia (FM).
Full description
Both cognitive-behavioral and mindful-acceptance based treatments impact pain and disability in people with chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia. However, these treatments target different mechanisms. The focus of CBT is on helping individuals manage their thoughts and behaviors related to pain. In contrast, the focus of M is on improving individuals' ability be aware of and accept their experiences, and to develop their positive emotional resources.
