Journal ArticleDOI
Mindfulness meditation for the treatment of chronic low back pain in older adults: A randomized controlled pilot study
TL;DR: An 8‐week mindfulness‐based meditation program is feasible for community‐dwelling older adults with chronic low back pain and may lead to improvement in pain acceptance and physical function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mind-body interventions for chronic pain in older adults: a structured review.
Natalia E. Morone,Carol M. Greco +1 more
TL;DR: There is not yet sufficient evidence to conclude that these eight mind- body interventions reduce chronic nonmalignant pain in older adults, so further research should focus on larger, clinical trials of mind-body interventions to answer this question.
Journal ArticleDOI
“I Felt Like a New Person.” The Effects of Mindfulness Meditation on Older Adults With Chronic Pain: Qualitative Narrative Analysis of Diary Entries
TL;DR: Several themes were identified related to pain reduction, improved attention, improved sleep, and achieving well-being resulting from mindfulness meditation that suggest it has promising potential as a nonpharmacologic treatment of chronic pain for older adults.

TL;DR: Findings provide the first evidence that mindfulness meditation training functionally couples the DMN with a region known to be important in top-down executive control at rest, which, in turn, is associated with improvements in a marker of inflammatory disease risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association between wear facets, bruxism, and severity of facial pain in patients with temporomandibular disorders.
TL;DR: In this TMD population, tooth wear factors did not differentiate patients with bruxism from those without and muscle pain severity in this T MD population was modestly correlated with age.
