Terapia de dança/movimento baseada em mindfulness para dor lombar crônica

30 de setembro de 2026 atualizado por: Drexel University

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and credibility of a mindfulness-based dance/movement therapy (M-DMT) protocol that is delivered online; to assess and improve methodological procedures for conducting a randomized controlled trial (RCT) test of M-DMT; and to demonstrate proof of principle by gathering information about the process of change between M-DMT and a control condition.

This is the first study to address the potential of M-DMT as a creative, non-opioid intervention for chronic back pain. Therefore, the findings of this study will provide important methodological and protocol data and substantive pilot data necessary for the next phase of this line of research, namely a fully powered RCT to evaluate efficacy and treatment mechanisms of action. Data obtained as part of this study will be instrumental for informing the systematic evaluation of M-DMT for chronic back pain care.

Armas e Intervenções

Grupo de Participantes / Braço
Intervenção / Tratamento
Experimental: Mindfulness-based dance/movement therapy

Participants assigned to the M-DMT group condition will receive care as usual plus 12 weekly 90-minute group M-DMT sessions delivered online by a board-certified dance/movement therapist. The therapist is instructed to follow the M-DMT manualized protocol.

M-DMT includes benefits of physical activity, group psychotherapy, mindfulness training, and an art-based intervention in a unified practice. Each online session focuses on different psycho-educational topics about chronic low back pain management and links these topics with specific M-DMT activities that incorporate mindfulness-based principles and techniques.

  • Terapia de dança/movimento
Comparador Ativo: Chronic pain social support group

Participants assigned to the control condition will participate in a 12-session (90-minute session/week) online social support group.

The therapist will facilitate online open group discussions about participants' experiences with or reactions to the topic of discussion and will promote empathy among group members. The therapist will use client-centered, reflective listening techniques but will not prescribe any specific recommendations for change.

Each week, SSG participants will receive emails with brief information about the topic discussed during the group session.
