• Evaluations: Before and after treatment, about 2.5 hours
• Training history, balance, strength and steadiness
• Intervention, about 30 minutes per session

If interested, please email Leah Davis at leah.davis@colorado.edu for more information.

This is a 5-hour study broken up into two sessions (2.5 hours each). Compensation is $10 per hour, plus a $15 dollar bonus upon completion of the second part ($65 total).

If you suffer from chronic back pain you may be eligible to participate in a paid research study on the benefits of a novel mind-body treatment for chronic pain.

The research study consists of two MRI scan sessions four to six weeks apart on the CU Boulder campus, before and after treatment. Participants will be compensated $225. MRI is safe and non-invasive technology for measuring brain function, and participants will be given a photo of their brain to take home. The treatment will be administered at the Interventional Pain Management clinic at the University of Colorado Hospital at the Anschutz Denver metro campus.

Eligibility criteria:

• Age 21–70
• Back pain for the last three months or more
• No metal in the body (for MRI safety)
• No opioid use for more than four weeks in the past two years; opioids include common prescription painkillers like oxycodone (Percocet), hydrocodone (Vicodin) and meperidine
• Not pregnant due to unclear effects of MRI on a fetus
