To determine if mindfulness meditation-induced reductions in chronic low back pain (cLBP) patients will be associated with greater anterior insula (aINS), orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC), and/or thalamic deactivation when compared to rest, the sham-mindfulness meditation and the book-listening control groups. One-hundred and twenty individuals will be randomized to a mindfulness meditation (n=40), non-mindfulness meditation (n=40) and book-listening-control (n=40). Each participants will be administered noxious heat and the chronic low back pain evoking, straight leg raise test during fMRI.
