It has been proposed that mindfulness meditation reduces pain by uncoupling sensory and affective pain dimensions. However, studies to date have reported mixed results, possibly due to a diversity of styles of and expertise in mindfulness meditation. Furthermore, the interrelations between mindfulness meditation and pain catastrophizing during acute pain remain little known.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This cross\u2010sectional study investigated the effect of a style of mindfulness meditation called Open Monitoring (OM) on sensory and affective pain experience by comparing novice (2\u2010day formal training; average ~20\u00a0hr practice) to expert practitioners (&gt;10.000\u00a0hr practice). We implemented a paradigm that was designed to amplify the cognitive\u2010affective aspects of pain experience by the manipulation of pain anticipation and uncertainty of stimulus length (8 or 16\u00a0s thermal pain stimuli). We collected pain intensity and unpleasantness ratings and assessed trait pain catastrophizing with the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Across groups, mindfulness meditation reduced unpleasantness, but not intensity ratings compared to attentional distraction. Experts reported a lower score on PCS, reduced amplification of unpleasantness by long painful stimuli, and larger sensory\u2010affective uncoupling than novices particularly during long painful stimuli. In experts, meditation\u2010induced uncoupling spilled over the control condition. Across groups and task conditions, a higher score on PCS predicted lower sensory\u2010affective uncoupling during long painful stimuli and higher ratings of pain intensity during short painful stimuli.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>These findings suggest that mindfulness meditation specifically down\u2010regulates pain affect as opposed to pain intensity, and that pain catastrophizing undermines sensory\u2010affective uncoupling of pain.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Significance<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this study, we found that a style of mindfulness meditation referred to as OM reduced unpleasantness but not intensity ratings compared to attentional distraction in trained novice (state effect) and expert meditators (state and trait effects). We also observed that trait pain catastrophizing scores predicted this sensory\u2010affective uncoupling. These findings advance our understanding of the cognitive mechanisms underlying mindfulness meditation and can inform treatment strategies for chronic pain.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ejp.1576","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,20]],"date-time":"2020-04-20T18:06:26Z","timestamp":1587405986000},"page":"1301-1313","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["Mindfulness meditation is related to sensory\u2010affective uncoupling of pain in trained novice and expert practitioners"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Jelle","family":"Zorn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Lyon Neuroscience Research Centre INSERM U1028 CNRS UMR5292 Lyon 1 University Bron Cedex, Lyon France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Oussama","family":"Abdoun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lyon Neuroscience Research Centre INSERM U1028 CNRS UMR5292 Lyon 1 University Bron Cedex, Lyon France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Romain","family":"Bouet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lyon Neuroscience Research Centre INSERM U1028 CNRS UMR5292 Lyon 1 University Bron Cedex, Lyon France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antoine","family":"Lutz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lyon Neuroscience Research Centre INSERM U1028 CNRS UMR5292 Lyon 1 University Bron Cedex, Lyon France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","volume-title":"Brain & mindfulness project manual","author":"Abdoun O.","year":"2018"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.concog.2019.01.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jml.2012.11.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18637\/jss.v067.i01"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1745691615594577"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/clipsy.bph077"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tree.2008.10.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pain.2010.04.017"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cpr.2009.06.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AJP.0b013e3182385392"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AJP.0000000000000102"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2055102918807406"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/14639947.2011.564820"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpain.2016.01.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AJP.0000000000000430"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.39.11.1071"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cercor\/bhr352"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0033-2909.133.4.581"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/nyas.12282"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pain.2010.10.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PSY.0b013e31818f52ee"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0005-7894(04)80013-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1037\/17335-000","volume-title":"Acceptance and commitment therapy: The process and Practice of Mindful Change","author":"Hayes S.
