Background summary
Chronic pain has a great impact, including on daily functioning. This can be
accompanied by feelings of uncertainty, sadness, anxiety and gloom.
Mindfulness is about being present in the moment. It is about becoming aware of
thoughts and feelings in an accepting and neutral way. In this way, space can
be created to deal with pain symptoms differently, for instance by making
choices that allow you to take better care of yourself.
During the mindfulness training, you practise focusing your attention, for
instance through a sitting meditation or body scan. This teaches you to become
aware of thoughts, feelings and physical sensations, and then learn to distance
yourself from them. This can help break through negative thoughts.
Mindfulness training was originally developed to teach people to cope better
with pain and physical symptoms. Scientific research has shown that mindfulness
training is effective in reducing and learning to cope better with pain.
Study objective
Does mindfulness based cognitive therapy in addition to treatment as usual
(TAU) improve QoL compared to TAU alone in patients with CPP based on a
hypertonic pelvic floor ?
Study design
Pilot study in the form of a randomized controlled trial
Intervention
The intervention group receives mindfulness based cognitive therapy in addition
to treatment as usual (TAU).
The control group receives treatment as usual (TAU) alone.
Study burden and risks
The burden for subjects in this study consists of extra visits to Radboudumc to
receive mindfulness based therapy. There are no risks associated with this
therapy. All additional operations are part of regular care for similar (pain)
conditions.
