Scalable Mindfulness-Based Interventions for Chronic Pain: Results from the Learning to Apply Mindfulness to Pain (LAMP) Trial
Diana Burgess, PhD
Agenda
Dr. Burgess will present results of the Learning to Apply Mindfulness to Pain (LAMP) multisite, pragmatic clinical trial, which compares two scalable, mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) for Veterans with chronic pain. Both LAMP interventions improved pain functioning (the primary outcome) and important biopsychosocial outcomes (e.g., pain intensity; anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder; physical function; fatigue; sleep disturbance; participation in social roles/activities) over 12 months, compared to usual care, among Veterans with chronic pain and high levels of psychiatric comorbidity. These approaches to delivering MBIs could help accelerate the implementation of nonpharmacological pain treatment in the VA and other healthcare systems.
About the Spotlight on Pain Management Cyberseminar Series
The Pain Management Collaboratory (PMC) is delighted to share plans for sponsoring a special series of presentations as part of the VA Spotlight on Pain Management (SoPM) Cyberseminar series that will highlight the accomplishments and future initiatives of the Collaboratory.
The PMC is an important tri-government agency partnership involving the National Institutes of Health and Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs that supports a growing number of large-scale, multisite, pragmatic clinical trials (PCTs) of nonpharmacological approaches for the management of pain and common co-occurring conditions in military and Veteran health systems. Launched in 2017, the originally supported eleven PCTs are nearing completion and are ready to present early findings, lessons learned in the conduct of the trials, and future directions and opportunities for implementation of important findings and products and for future research.

Pre-registration is required for participation, but there is no cost. Continuing education credits are available for several disciplines for participants who are affiliated with VA. Check out the accreditation page.
