Abstract

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of modified Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) in catastrophizing, acceptance and severity of pain in Fibromyalgia patients.
Method: This study was a semi-experimental study. 24 women with Fibromyalgia were randomly allocated to mindfulness intervention and control group. Then Pain Cataststrophizing Scale, Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire and Multidimensional Pain Inventory were completed by subjects in both groups before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using analysis of multi covariance (MANCOVA).
Results: The results of multi covariance analysis showed that cataststrophizing, acceptance and pain severity have significant differences between two groups (p< 0/01).  Moreover, there are significant differences in subscales of pain cataststrophizing (rumination, magnification and helplessness) and pain acceptance (Activities engagement and Pain willingness) between groups (p< 0/01). 
Conclusion: The Results support effectiveness of modified mindfulness-based cognitive therapy in reducing cataststrophizing and pain severity, and increasing pain acceptance in Fibromyalgia patients.
