description Background. Chronic pain is a major health condition that has significant financial and lifestyle implications. Due to the complex etiologies of pain, it is difficult to find treatment modalities that would be universally applicable to the general population presenting for care. Mindfulness meditation is a complimentary treatment modality that has some preliminary, inconclusive evidence in support of its benefit on patients with chronic pain. Objectives. The purpose of this article is to systematically review the current literature for randomized controlled trials that assess the outcomes of mindfulness as an intervention for individuals with chronic pain. Methods. An electronic database search was performed for studies investigating the efficacy of mindfulness in treatment for chronic pain. The studies included were randomized controlled trials, published in English, from a peer-reviewed journal that identified mindfulness as the primary treatment focus for chronic pain in at least one group, and included participants with at least a 12-week history of symptoms. Results. The database search revealed 283 articles, of which 6 met the inclusion criteria. Conclusion. Mindfulness meditation appears to have minimal or statistically insignificant effects on chronic pain according to the current data. However, the effects of mindfulness on mental health scores are significant and may be an area for future trials to target. Well-conducted research is necessary before the effects of mindfulness on chronic pain can be definitively determined.
