TL;DR: Preliminary feasibility and efficacy of MORE as a treatment for co-occurring prescription opioid misuse and chronic pain are demonstrated.

TL;DR: Current neuropsychopharmacologic research is drawn upon to provide a conceptual framework of the downward spiral leading to prescription opioid misuse and addiction among chronic pain patients receiving opioid analgesic pharmacotherapy and multimodal, mindfulness-oriented treatment is introduced as a potentially effective approach to disrupting the downward Spiral and facilitating recovery from chronic pain and opioid addiction.

TL;DR: This review describes how MBIs may target neuroc cognitive mechanisms of addiction at the attention-appraisal-emotion interface and offers a temporally sequenced description of neurocognitive processes targeted by MBOs through a hypothetical case study.

TL;DR: During treatment with Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement, cardiac-autonomic responsiveness to non-drug reward increases, while reactivity to opioid reward decreases, suggesting that RR may play a role in addiction treatment.

TL;DR: Degree of state mindfulness achieved during the act of mindfulness meditation significantly predicted increases in reappraisal over time, suggesting that mindfulness may promote emotion regulation by enhancing cognitive reappRAisal.
