MORE Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Intervention (MORE) GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants randomized to the intervention group will undergo an eight-week mindfulness training program as instructed by MORE for the Treatment of Chronic Pain manual. This eight-week intervention will consist of weekly synchronous video conferencing sessions during which participants will be asked to follow along with a guided meditation read by the study lead and to engage in reflection and discussion exercises with other study participants. Participants will also be asked to complete weekly activities and daily mindfulness practices outside of weekly synchronous meetings. Pre-recorded guided meditations created by study personnel using scripts from the MORE manual will be provided to participants to facilitate their daily practice.
Group II: Control GroupActive Control1 Intervention
This group will undergo treatment as usual (TAU) over the course of the eight-week time period of parallel group comparison. This may or may not involve regularly scheduled, standard visits with other medical personnel, including primary care, specialized medical services, or complementary and integrative health practitioners (e.g., acupuncture). Participants will be asked to refrain from altering therapeutic approaches to pain management during this time unless medically necessary and will be asked to report any changes made to their treatment plan on a daily basis.
