PACE CF, a 3-session Mind-body Pain Management Program for Adults with Cystic Fibrosis

The Pain Acknowledgment Coping and Empowerment in CF (PACE CF) program is a newly developed 3-session mind-body pain management intervention for adults with cystic fibrosis (CF), developed with CF community input. The sessions are delivered by the the CF care team psychologist. Each session will teach mind-body strategies to increase comfort and reduce the impact of pain on the participant\'s life. These strategies include understanding pain in CF from a mind-body perspective, learning relaxation and mindfulness-based skills, identifying and practicing individualized cognitive and behavioral strategies that improve comfort and well-being, and discussing communication skills that empower people living with CF and pain. Participants will receive a workbook that will provide related education and resources and reinforce skill practice.
