Benefits and Evidence of Mindfulness Meditation in Chronic Pain Management

Course overview

Interest in mindfulness meditation has increased exponentially over the past three decades resulting in a rapid growth of research exploring how it works and its associated benefits. Many studies have identified consistent neural changes in the brain following mindfulness practice and noted a number of benefits including pain reduction. Chronic pain has become a global health problem causing disability and reduced quality of life while also posing a significant therapeutic challenge. Mindfulness as a multifaceted non-pharmacological option for pain relief has therefore sparked great interest globally. Through the wonder of neuroplasticity mindfulness has been shown to have a direct impact on our physiology and our psychology resulting in a calmer and more accepting disposition towards pain and life itself.
