The discussions demonstrate strong support and curiosity about the article, with many posts citing specific findings like 'moderate improvements in pain' and 'small reductions in opioid dose,' using words like 'hope,' 'explore,' and 'may be associated,' which reflect both positive sentiment and cautious optimism. A few comments show skepticism or indifference, shaping the overall tone as engaged but not universally convinced of the immediate transformative impact.
AgreementModerate agreement
Most discussions acknowledge the positive findings of the systematic review, emphasizing the potential of mind-body therapies to reduce pain and opioid use.
InterestHigh interest

EngagementHigh engagement
Many discussions delve into details like study size, methods (e.g., meditation, CBT), and implications, reflecting deep engagement with the research.
ImpactModerate impact
While some posts highlight the importance of these therapies in addressing the opioid epidemic, the overall perceived impact remains moderate as a few dismissive comments suggest uncertainty.
Abstract in brief
This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the effectiveness of mindbody therapies (MBTs), such as meditation, hypnosis, and relaxation techniques, in reducing pain and opioid use among adults treated with opioids for acute or chronic pain, finding that MBTs are associated with moderate pain relief and slight opioid dose reduction.
Researchers analyzed data from 60 reports involving 6,404 participants, revealing that MBTs, particularly meditation, showed moderate to large effects in improving pain outcomes, while also contributing to decreased opioid consumption, which could help address opioid misuse and dependency.
The study highlights the potential role of mindbody therapies as complementary approaches for managing pain and reducing opioid reliance, suggesting they may benefit patients, prescribers, payers, and policymakers in tackling the opioid crisis.
I'm excited to share my new meta-analysis published in @JAMAInternalMed on the efficacy of mind-body therapies for opioid-treated pain. https://t.co/PApYBbcCQf
