Abstract in brief

  • Mindfulness meditation offers a promising non-drug approach to pain relief by targeting the sensory, cognitive, and emotional aspects of pain, which makes treating chronic pain more manageable and less costly.
  • Due to the opioid crisis and increasing cases of misuse and addiction, there is a critical need for fast-acting, non-pharmacological pain management strategies like mindfulness meditation.
  • Recent studies show that mindfulness meditation can significantly reduce pain through various unique mechanisms, making it a valuable option for millions of patients seeking alternatives to narcotic-based treatments.]
