This study will examine the effects of mindfulness meditation and therapeutic hypnosis on chronic pain management. Evidence suggests that both mindfulness meditation and therapeutic hypnosis can help individuals manage their pain and improve their quality of life. However, more information is needed to better understand how the brain responds to these therapies and to distinguish who benefits most from each. Our goal is to provide evidence that informs more effective ways to treat pain and helps to develop targeted non-pharmacological treatments for chronic pain management.<\/p>\n

The study takes place over 3 weeks and involves:
\n\u2022 Three in-person brain imaging sessions at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle, WA (1 \u2013 2 hours each)
\n\u2022 Four guided audio treatment sessions (completed remotely, 45 minutes each)
\n\u2022 Eight online surveys (10 minutes each, completed the weeks before and after the study sessions)<\/p>\n

$300 compensation for completing the study. Reduced compensation offered for partial study completion.<\/p>\n

Participant Eligibility<\/h3>\n

60 years of age or older
\nExperience pain most days for 3 or more months
\nWilling and able to undergo MRI and EEG tests<\/p>\n
