Effect and mechanism of mindfulness intervention in relieving chronic pain / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

ABSTRACT

The incidence of chronic pain is very high,which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. It is an important problem to be solved urgently in clinic. At present,people recognize the important role of biopsychology in the process of chronic pain management. Mindfulness intervention,as a cognitive and psychological intervention,has a positive effect on relieving the intensity of chronic pain,changing the per-ception of pain,improving the ability of pain management,and improving pain-related functional and emotion-al disorders. This paper reviews the clinical effect,mechanism and health economics of mindfulness interven-tion on chronic pain,and points out that network-based mindfulness intervention has broad prospects for de-velopment in the future,which is suitable for the current situation of large population base and few related practitioners in China.
