This federal Project Grant award from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (CFDA 93.213 - Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health) is funding a $682,950 study to investigate the feasibility of combining mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) intervention and open-label placebo (OLP) treatment for individuals with chronic pain. The study, led by Arizona State University, proposes a single-site randomized controlled trial to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of this combined MBSR and OLP approach over an 8-week period with a 3-month follow-up. Key feasibility metrics include participant enrollment and retention, adherence to the MBSR program and OLP treatment, and compliance with daily assessments. Acceptability will be measured through self-reported ratings of treatment satisfaction, effectiveness, convenience, side effects, and appropriateness of the interventions and study measures. The ultimate goal is to advance chronic pain management strategies by establishing procedures for a future full-scale clinical trial evaluating the combined MBSR and OLP treatment.
