Brief summary (from the registry)
This study aims to increase the well-being of individuals with chronic pain through a 4-week online positive mindfulness programme. Each module, lasting 4 days, will include a daily meditation and focus on a different aspect of positive psychology. This is a quantitative study. The independent variable is participation in the programme. The dependent variables are: wellbeing, mindfulness, pain severity, pain catastrophising and health quality of life. There will be one experimental group who participate in the programme as soon as they are recruited. There will be one control group who are put on a 'wait-list' to complete the programme after an 8 week wait. Pre and post measures will be taken. Participants are being recruited through NHS clinics in London and Oxford, including the Pain Management Centre at Oxford University Hospitals (Churchill site) and INPUT at St Thomas's Hospital (which are participant identification centres). Participants who hear about the study via other means including online or through word of mouth are also being accepted.
