Acupuncture Combined With Mindfulness: ACUMIND (ACUMIND)
Acupuncture Combined With Mindfulness in the Context of Chronic Pain
Study Overview

Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Neither acupuncture nor mindfulness have been studied with respect to chronic pain in an outpatient integrative health (IH) oncology clinic in the USA. Likewise, the combination of acupuncture and mindfulness combined as not been studied. Given that both acupuncture and mindfulness have demonstrated some analgesic relief in an acute pain setting, each merit study for pain relief in an outpatient setting.
The investigators are evaluating the impact of two different acupuncture approaches for patients reporting chronic pain. Acupuncture will be provided by a Licensed Acupuncturist for patients reporting chronic pain. Participants will be randomized to one of two treatments - acupuncture as usual or acupuncture plus mindfulness.
The investigators will collect data regarding chronic pain, interoceptive awareness, emotion regulation, and acceptability. The study is open to participants with any etiology and any location of chronic pain.
