Course Description

Chronic pain affects millions of adults and often requires a multidisciplinary approach that extends beyond pharmacologic treatment. This course explores the role of mindfulness-based behavioral techniques as a complementary strategy for improving quality of life in individuals experiencing chronic pain. Participants will examine the psychological and behavioral impacts of chronic pain, review the neurophysiological mechanisms associated with mindfulness practices, and learn practical techniques such as grounding, body scan, breath-focused regulation, and mindfulness meditation. The course also emphasizes interprofessional collaboration, highlighting how healthcare teams can integrate mindfulness strategies within comprehensive chronic pain management plans while addressing ethical and clinical considerations for patient care.
