Effectiveness of mindfulness meditation (Vipassana) in the management of chronic low back pain
Sangram G Patil. Indian J Anaesth. 2009 Apr.
Abstract
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is challenging to treat with its significant psychological and cognitive behavioural element involved. Mindfulness meditation helps alter the behavioural response in chronic pain situations. Significant body of research in the filed of mindfulness meditation comes from the work of Dr Kabat-Zinn. The current evidence in the field, though not grade one, shows that there is a place for mindfulness meditation in managing chronic pain conditions including CLBP. Further research to test the usefulness of mindfulness in CLBP should involve good quality randomized controlled trials of pure mindfulness based technique in matched subjects.
Keywords: Chronic low back pain; Mindfulness based stress reduction; Mindfulness meditation.
