Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
for Fibromyalgia
MBSR reduces the emotional amplification of pain signals in fibromyalgia — a condition fundamentally characterised by central pain hypersensitivity — through sustained mindful attention training.
How it works
Reduces pain catastrophising and the default mode network activity that amplifies chronic pain perception. Increases pain acceptance and reduces suffering beyond the sensory pain itself.
What to watch for
The 8-week MBSR course is time-intensive. Shorter programmes show smaller effects. Most effective when combined with exercise and CBT as part of multidisciplinary management.
