Brief summary (from the registry)
The goal of this clinical trial is to pilot an adaptation of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for chronic pain and early cognitive decline. The main questions it aims to answer in a later fully powered randomized controlled trial are: * Is an adaptation of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for older Black adults able to improve quality of life? * Will an adapted mindfulness based cognitive therapy reduce pain interference to a greater degree than a traditional health enhancement program?
