Summary

This trial is studying if a mind-body intervention can help people with chronic back pain by reducing disability and pain, and improving quality of life.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with chronic back pain, who are open to mind-body interventions. They should have moderate disability and pain intensity from their condition, experiencing pain at least three days a week for the past three months. People with severe psychiatric conditions or organic diseases causing the pain are not eligible.
What is being tested?
The study tests two different mind-body interventions against usual care to see if they reduce disability and alleviate chronic back pain. It also looks at whether these methods can lessen anxiety related to the pain and improve overall quality of life.
What are the potential side effects?
Mind-body interventions typically have minimal side effects but may include temporary discomfort, emotional distress, or an increase in awareness of existing symptoms during initial practice.
