Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

For patients with chronic pain, how does a 10 minute guided body scan meditation affect pressure pain threshold and extent of pain on a body diagram?

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients who present with central sensitization in physical therapy will go through a 10 minute body scan meditation. If patient meets criteria then they will fill out pre-intervention measures including hand dominance, gender identity, duration of pain, work status, pain body diagram, current pain level, previous medication and a neck disability index or an oswestry disability index.

Subject will then be asked what position they feel most comfortable to be led through this body scan meditation.

After the meditation, the participant will fill out another pain body diagram, current pain level, global rating of change and pain pressure threshold.

At this point the study is over and the subject will return to their physical therapy treatment.
