About this study
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of an adaptive intervention targeting both insomnia and positive affect in improving pain outcomes for adults with chronic low back pain (cLBP) and comorbid insomnia. Specifically, the study tests whether augmenting a cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi) program with a meditation intervention (Savoring Meditation) or a Pain Education intervention will result in greater reductions in pain intensity. Secondary objectives include evaluating improvements in insomnia severity, positive and negative affect, and overall quality of life.
