This review suggests that mindfulness training as a clinical intervention may be helpful in the treatment of chronic pain and several other disorders.
The review is R. A. Baer’s 2003 paper, Mindfulness Training as a Clinical Intervention: A Conceptual and Empirical Review , published in Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice . As an early review, it is best read as a starting point on the topic, and research has continued since.
Mindfulness training is usually offered alongside medical and psychological care, not instead of it. If you live with chronic pain or another condition, a conversation with your healthcare provider can help you decide what fits you.
