Abstract in brief

Recent research shows that acceptance and mindfulness-based therapies like ACT, MBSR, and MBCT have been increasingly studied for treating chronic pain, but the overall quality of these studies has not improved.
The meta-analysis of 25 randomized controlled trials found that these interventions generally have small to moderate effects on reducing pain, depression, anxiety, and disability, with some benefits lasting at follow-up.
While not necessarily better than traditional treatments like cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and mindfulness approaches are considered good alternative options for managing chronic pain.]
