From whom and under what conditions do mind/body approaches cure chronic pain?

“

I have been successfully treating people with chronic pain for years, but this was my first opportunity to systematically research the characteristics and perspectives of patients for whom the approach worked, as well as identifying and understanding patients for whom it did not work. These results are important in not only allowing us to better identify patients most amenable to the intervention, but also adjusting and improving the intervention to increase the efficacy for all patients.
