Brief summary (from the registry)

It has been shown that MBSR could be effective in different types of chronic pain in geriatrics, but more evidence in the interdisciplinary context is needed. This study is conducted to develop and compile a mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program within a context of physiotherapy rehabilitation to manage chronic pain in the elderly in an Iranian clinical setting. The 8-session MBSR treatment protocol was translated, revised for the Iranian elderlies, and compiled as a one-on-one therapy using a unique protocol with 20-session physiotherapy. 40 volunteers aged 65 or more with musculoskeletal chronic pain will be selected and receive the program for 8 consecutive weeks with a 3-month follow-up. Treatment satisfaction levels, adherence to treatment sessions, and patient-reported clinical outcome measures were used at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and three months following the intervention, measuring pain, anxiety, fatigue, sleep disturbance, pain interference levels, and kinesiophobia.
