Mindfulness-based pain management (MBPM) is a mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) providing specific applications for people living with chronic pain and illness.^[1][2] Adapting the core concepts and practices of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), MBPM includes a distinctive emphasis on the practice of 'loving-kindness', and has been seen as sensitive to concerns about removing mindfulness teaching from its original ethical framework.^[1][3] It was developed by Vidyamala Burch and is delivered through the programs of Breathworks.^[1][2] It has been subject to a range of clinical studies demonstrating its effectiveness.^{[4][5][6][7][8][9][1]}
