Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
There has been an increasing interest in studying the potential benefits of so-called complementary and alternative approaches for pain management, such as hypnosis and mindfulness-based interventions. More recently, researchers have been interested in studying the effects of spiritual practices on pain experience as well. These practices may increase pain tolerance, result in a positive re-appraisal of pain and influence other psychological variables that are known to be associated with pain experience. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the immediate effects of self-hypnosis, mindfulness meditation, and a spiritual intervention relative to a control condition for increasing pain tolerance and reducing pain intensity and pain-related stress, in response to experimental painful stimulation.
METHODS AND ANALYSIS
Recruitment is anticipated to start in November 2020. This is a randomised quantitative experimental mixed-design repeated-measures study with three assessment points: baseline (T0), pre-test (T1) and post-test (T2). Eligible healthy adults will be randomised to one of the four study conditions. Interventions will be a 20-minute audio-guided practice of either self-hypnosis, mindfulness meditation, or Christian prayer. Participants in the control group will not be instructed to use any specific strategy during the painful stimulation. Participants will be submitted to a first cycle of Cold Pressor Arm Wrap. They will then listen to a 20-minute audio recording inducing one of the three interventions, or, in the case of the control group, to a 20-minute audio recording of text from a natural history textbook. Primary outcomes are pain intensity and pain tolerance. Pain-related stress as measured by salivary cortisol level and heart rate variability are secondary outcomes.
ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION
This study was approved by ISPA—University Institute’s internal Ethics Committee for Research on 3rd December 2018 (reference I/010/12/2018). Findings will be published in peer-reviewed indexed journals and presented at conferences.

Abstract/Results: Background Pain is a universal experience and the most common reason for seeking healthcare. Inadequate pain management negatively impacts numerous aspects of patient health. Multidisciplinary treatment programmes, including psychosocial interventions, are more useful for pain management than purely biomedical treatment alone. Recently, researchers showed increasing interest in understanding the role of spirituality/religiosity and spiritual/religious practices on pain experience, with engagement in religious practices, such as prayer, showing to positively impact pain experience in religious individuals. This systematic review will seek to summarise and integrate the existing findings from randomised controlled trials assessing the effects of prayer and prayer-based interventions on pain experience.
Methods The systematic review procedures and its report will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. Electronic searches in nine databases (Web of Science Core Collection, MEDLINE, SCIELO Citation Index, PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Clinical Trial, PsycINFO, Scopus, LILACS and Open-SIGLE) will be performed to identify randomised controlled trials of prayer-based interventions. Two independent researchers will assess studies for inclusion and extract data from each paper. Risk of bias assessment will be assessed independently by two reviewers based on the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials statement. Qualitative synthesis of the body of research will be conducted using a narrative summary synthesis method. Meta-analysis will be limited to studies reporting on the same primary outcome. Formal searches are planned to start in June 2021. The final report is anticipated to be completed by September 2021.
Discussion Findings will be useful to (1) understand the condition of our knowledge in this field and (2) provide evidence for prayer effectiveness in reducing pain intensity and pain-related stress and increasing pain tolerance in adults experiencing acute or chronic pain.

Effects of mindfulness meditation versus self-hypnosis versus prayer versus an attention control on cold pressor arm wrap pain-related outcomes: an experimental study
Publication year: 2022

https://ciencia.ucp.pt/en/publications/effects-of-mindfulness-meditation-versus-self-hypnosis-versus-pra
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Background and aims: Previous research supports the usefulness of mindfulness meditation, self-hypnosis, and spiritual/ religious practices for pain management, especially among patients with chronic pain. However, the beneficial effects of such brief practices on acute pain have been less studied, and no previous research, to the best of our knowledge, compared the effects of all these three approaches on pain-related outcomes on the same study. This study examined if brief sessions of mindfulness meditation (MM), self-hypnosis (SH), and Christian prayer (CP) produce changes in cold pressor arm Wrap (CPAW) pain (intensity, tolerance). Methods: This is a prospective experimental study with two parallel arms. Healthy adults (N=200) were randomly assigned to 20-minute sessions of MM, SH, CP or an attention control (CN). All participants underwent two cycles of CPAW, prior and after the 20-minute sessions. Sessions were audio-delivered. Participants responded to pre and post-test pain intensity measurements. Pain tolerance (sec) was assessed during the CPAW cycles. Results: A decrease in pain intensity, and an increase in pain tolerance, were observed from pre to post-test CPAW. MM and SH participants reported greater increases in pain tolerance, and SH participants reported greater decreases in pain intensity. SH participants reported significantly lower pain intensity and higher pain tolerance at post-test relative to CN and CP participants. Conclusions: These preliminary results indicate single sessions of SH and MM, but not CP, are effective in producing changes in CPAW pain tolerance. SH is effective in reducing pain intensity. Further research is needed to identify mediating mechanisms for these pain management approaches.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Research has shown the usefulness of mindfulness in chronic pain. Its usefulness in acute pain has been less studied. Studying it can be relevant for the development of therapeutic strategies in the context of primary health care and in situations of acute pain. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness in reducing the intensity of experimentally induced acute pain, the effect of the interaction of sex and whether pre-test pain intensity and allocation to the experimental condition are predictors of the magnitude of change in pain intensity between pre and post-test. This is a prospective experimental study with two parallel arms. A sample of 67 healthy adult individuals underwent two cycles of Cold Pressor Arm Wrap. Participants in the experimental condition listened to a 20-minute recording of mindfulness induction. Participants responded to pre and post-test pain intensity measurements. Results show that there was no effect of allocation to condition and sex on pain intensity. Pain intensity reported in the pre-test was a significant predictor of the magnitude of change in pain intensity. These results suggest that effective acute pain management measures should be adopted at early stages, developing non-drug analgesic strategies, and future research should replicate this study in larger and more balanced samples.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
This review examined the effects of private and communal participatory prayer on pain. Nine databases were searched. Six randomized controlled trials were included. For private prayer, medium to large effects emerged for 67% to 69% of between-group comparisons; participants in the prayer condition reported lower pain intensity (0.59 < d < 26.17; 4 studies) and higher pain tolerance (0.70 < d < 1.05; 1 study). Pre- to post-intervention comparisons yielded medium to large effects (0.76 < d < 1.67; 2 studies); pain intensity decreased. Although firm conclusions cannot be made because meta-analysis was based on only two studies, the analysis suggested prayer might reduce pain intensity (SMD = - 2.63, 95% CI [- 3.11, - 2.14], I = 0%).

Immediate effects of hypnosis, mindfulness meditation, and prayer on cold pressor outcomes: A four-arm parallel experimental study

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Purpose: Previous research supports the usefulness of hypnosis (HYP), mindfulness meditation (MM), and prayer as pain self-management strategies in adults with chronic pain. However, their effects on acute pain have been less researched, and no previous head-to-head study compared the immediate effects of these three approaches on pain-related outcomes. This study compared the immediate effects of HYP, MM, and Christian prayer (CP) on pain intensity, pain tolerance, and stress as assessed by heart rate variability (HRV).
Participants and Methods: A total of 232 healthy adults were randomly assigned to, and completed, a single 20-minute session of MM, SH, CP, or an attention control (CN), and underwent two cycles (one pre- and one post-intervention) of Cold Pressor Arm Wrap (CPAW). Sessions were audio-delivered. Participants responded to pre- and post-intervention pain intensity measurements. Pain tolerance (sec) was assessed during the CPAW cycles. HRV was assessed at baseline, and at pre- and post-intervention CPAW cycles. The study protocol was pre-registered at the ClinicalTrials.gov registry (NCT04491630).
Results: Small within-group decreases in pain intensity and small increases in pain tolerance were found for HYP and MM from the pre- to the post-intervention. Small within-group improvements in the LH/HF ratio were also found for HYP. The exploratory between-group pairwise comparisons revealed a medium effect size effects of HYP on pain tolerance relative to the control condition. The effects of CP were positive, but small and not statistically significant. Only small to medium, though non-significant, Time × Group interaction effects were found.
Conclusion: Study results suggest that single short-term HYP and MM sessions, but not biblical-based CP, may be useful for acute pain self-management, with HYP being the slightly superior option. Future research should compare the effects of different types of prayer and examine the predictors and moderators of these pain approaches’ effects on pain-related outcomes.

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
Hypnosis (H), mindfulness (M), and as prayer (P) are useful practices in adults with chronic pain. Though, their effects are only moderate, due to interindividual variability in baseline individual characteristics. Their effects on acute pain are less studied, and H, M and P have not yet been compared in head-to-head studies.
AIMS
Examined: the effects of short audio-guided H, M, and P, relative to a control (CN) on Cold Pressor Arm Wrap (CPAW) outcomes, in healthy adults; and the moderators of H, M, and P effects on outcomes.
METHOD
Participants (N= 224) completed a baseline assessment (T0) of potential moderators and of heart rate variability (HRV) and underwent a pre-test (T1) and a post-test (T2) CPAW trial. Outcomes were assessed at T1 and T2. Audio-guided practice of H, MM, or P occurred after T1. The CN group listened to a reading from a natural history book.
RESULTS
Interactions for all outcomes were not significant. Time and gender main effects were found for pain intensity and pain tolerance. A time main effect was found for HRV. Pain intensity: At T2, differences between H and M, P, and CN were small; H group reported lower pain intensity; H and M reported small decreases. Pain tolerance: At T2, differences between H, M and P were small, and between H and CN were medium; CN showed lower tolerance than P and MM conditions; H and M groups reported, respectively, medium and small increases. Significant moderators were: religion, religiosity, spirituality hypnotic suggestibility.
CONCLUSIONS
A single H and M short session might be useful for pain (self-)management. H is more useful for Christians with high hypnotic suggestibility. M is more useful for spiritual and religious individuals, regardless of religion.
