A little like MBSR, mindfulness-based pain management (MBPM) is a technique that makes use of mindfulness to achieve a desired outcome. In the case of MBPM, the use of loving kindness techniques are popular to help people deal with the chronic pain they may suffer as a result of trauma or long-term illnesses. It is not used to overcome singular moments of anguish, such as accidentally cutting oneself; rather, it forms a framework for dealing with pain when it occurs without such a heavy reliance on drug therapies. People who need palliative care may be offered MBPM training so they can enjoy their time without being unduly influenced by the effects of certain painkilling therapies.
