Chronic pain. . ”Americans are in the midst of an opioid epidemic of "unprecedented scale," with more than 100 deaths occurring every day because of overdoses with these drugs...” . “... the rate of drug overdose has increased 137%, including a 200% increase in the rate of overdose deaths involving opioids.” . “Mounting evidence points to the importance of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as a tool to help manage pain, according to two new studies presented here at the Academy of Integrative Pain Management (AIPM) Inaugural Global Pain Clinician Summit 2018.” . “One small study showed that integrating CBT into a primary care office reduced opioid use among chronic pain patients without significantly altering their pain intensity.” . Suffering with chronic pain can be debilitating, both mentally and physically. . Meditation has also shown to reduce pain intensity and pain frequency... (Check out S2E14 w Dr. Sud for more!) .
