Treating Chronic Pain by Modulating Phenomenological and Psychophysiological Indices of Self-Transcendence: Single-Blind Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial Protocol
Overview
This protocol paper outlines a single-blind randomized controlled trial investigating whether adding direct pointing instruction to mindful breathing enhances self-transcendence and pain relief in adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain. The study compares two mindfulness training protocols against a waitlist control group, assessing subjective and neurophysiological markers of self-transcendence alongside pain outcomes over a three-month follow-up period. As this is a protocol publication, no results are yet available; the resource describes the study design, participant criteria, and measurement methods for an ongoing trial.
