The linked JAMA study does not show the opioid reduction was 75%.
In fact, to quote, “ The findings suggest that MBTs are associated with moderate improvements in pain and small reductions in opioid dose and may be associated with therapeutic benefits for opioid-related problems, such as opioid craving and misuse. Future studies should carefully quantify opioid dosing variables to determine the association of mind-body therapies with opioid-related outcomes.”
I will dig into this more this evening - chronic pain management is my area - but on first glance, this is a bullshit clickbait headline.
