Impact of a digital mindfulness and motor imagery intervention on pain and perceived function in 203 patients with musculoskeletal pain

Background

Musculoskeletal pain (MSP) is associated with persistent pain, functional impairment, and altered neuromuscular control mechanisms. Mindfulness and motor imagery interventions may target central sensorimotor dysfunctions involved in pain persistence. This study evaluated the effects of a digital intervention combining mindfulness and guided motor imagery on pain and perceived function in patients with MSP.
