Course Description
The most common treatment for chronic pain involves opioid pain management. Though most patients take these medicines as prescribed, nonetheless, opioids rarely completely alleviate chronic pain, and may lead to serious side effects, including death by overdose, as well as risk for developing opioid dependence and addiction.
In this webinar, Dr. Eric Garland will discuss his research on the clinical benefits and neurobiological mechanisms of Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement, a novel therapy designed to target chronic pain and prevent opioid-related problems.
After watching this webinar, you will learn:
- The cognitive, emotional, and physiological factors that link chronic pain to opioid misuse.
- How training in mindfulness, reappraisal, and savoring can help one to regulate unhealthy pain coping habits, decrease negative emotions, and enhance the sense of meaning in life.
- The evidence supporting the efficacy of the MORE intervention.
