The proposed study will assess the feasibility and acceptability of a mindfulness-based intervention to reduce functional impairment from chronic pain and risk of suicide.
The investigators are seeking to develop a combined intervention, MBCT-S/P, to focus on both improving functioning and mitigating suicide risk in veterans with chronic pain. The investigators plan to test the new manual's feasibility and acceptability in a sample of veterans experiencing chronic pain and suicidal ideation. Participants will be randomized to either the MBCT-S/P condition (n=38) or the Education control condition (n=38) to assess additional aspects of study feasibility. The investigators also plan to assess a variety of clinical outcomes including suicidal ideation, pain interference in activities, and opioid use. Participants will complete questionnaires pre-treatment, and 1-, 3-, and 6-months post-treatment.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|

| Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) | Behavioral | 10 sessions focused on increasing mindfulness awareness to address thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that maintain functional impairment and risk of suicide. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Treatment acceptability | The Abbreviated Acceptability Rating Profile assesses the extent to which participants agree with 8 statements about the intervention. Scores range from 1 to 6 with higher scores indicating higher acceptability. | 1-month post-treatment |
| Suicide risk | Suicide risk will be assessed using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, which assesses presence and severity of suicidal ideation and behaviors in one's lifetime, over a specified period, and since the last visit. Presence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors are scored as either present (0) or absent (1) and severity is indicated as the most severe suicidal thought or behavior endorsed (from 0-none to 5-suicide attempt). Higher scores indicate more severe suicidal ideation and behaviors. | baseline to 6 months post-treatment follow-up |
| Depression | The Patient Health Questionnaire-9, a 9-item measure assessing frequency of depression symptoms in the last week. Rating scale is from 0 to 3 with higher scores indicating more frequent depression symptoms. | baseline to 6 months post-treatment follow-up |
| Interpersonal Needs | The Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire is a 12-item questionnaire measuring level of belonging and feeling like a burden to others. Items are rating on a scale ranging from 1 to 7 with higher scores indicate greater interpersonal conflict. | baseline to 6 months post-treatment follow-up |
| Pain Interference and intensity | Pain interference and intensity will be measured using the Brief Pain Inventory. Four items assessing current, average, worst, and least pain experienced. Pain interference is assessed over 7 items across various life domains. Items are rated from 0 to 10 with higher scores indicating more severe pain intensity and greater interference in activities due to pain. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Health-related Quality of Life | The Veterans Rand (VR)-12 is a 12-item measure assessing health-related quality of life across physical (PCS) and mental health (MCS) components. PCS and MCS scores are derived using an algorithm that is referenced to a metric centered at 50.0. VR-12 scores are standardized using a T-score metric with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10 with higher scores indicating better health-related quality of life. |

| Mindfulness | The Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) consists of 39 items that assess five elements of mindfulness: observing, describing, acting with awareness, non-judging of inner experience, and non-reactivity to inner experience. The rating scale ranges from 1 to 5 with higher scores indicated higher mindfulness. | baseline to 6 months post-treatment follow-up |
| Pain acceptance | The Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ) is a 20-item measure that assesses two components of pain acceptance: pursuit of life activities regardless of pain and recognition that avoidance is not useful in adapting to chronic pain. The rating scale ranges from 0 to 6 with higher scores indicating greater pain acceptance. | baseline to 6 months post-treatment follow-up |
| Pain catastrophizing | The Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) is a 13-item measure, with each item rated on a 5-point rating scale (0 = "Not at all" to 4 = "All the time"). The measure is divided into three subscales: magnification, rumination, and helplessness. Higher scores indicate greater pain catastrophizing. | baseline to 6 months post-treatment follow-up |
| Pain-related self-efficacy | The Pain Self-efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) assesses one's confidence in performing activities while in pain. The rating scale ranges from 0 to 6 with higher scores indicating greater self-efficacy. | baseline to 6 months post-treatment follow-up |
