Sponsor's own description
Chronic pain syndromes without identified organic etiology remain a challenge for physicians. Many syndromes, including back pain, are believed to have potential underlying psychological etiology; however, the exact link remains elusive. The goal of this study is to determine if mind body therapies can help people suffering from chronic back pain. The study is a randomized, partially blinded trial examining the effectiveness of Mind Body Syndrome Therapy (MBST) in reducing disability from back pain and alleviating back pain. The investigators will secondarily investigate whether MBST can improve participant quality of life and reduce the need for pain-related hospitalization. The design of the this study consists of 3 arms with one being the intervention (MBST), one being usual care, and one being a second mind-body intervention (active control). This education program consists of a series of personal interviews and group and/or individualized lectures/sessions. Participants will also be provided reading material to study during the intervention period, and asked to continue their usual care while going through the MBST program.
