Studies were included if they were in English, included &gt;\u20095 patients, were not part of intensive interdisciplinary pain treatment and included pre\u2010post outcomes from mindfulness\u2010based interventions delivered to adolescents with chronic pain.

There were significant within group improvements in pain intensity, pain catastrophizing, pain acceptance, pain interference, functioning, depression, anxiety, and quality of life, with results maintained or increased at follow\u2010up effect sizes at follow\u2010up were moderate to large (e.g., quality of life\n                      <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SMD<\/jats:styled-content>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.33; pain intensity\n                      <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SMD<\/jats:styled-content>\n                      \u2009=\u2009\u22120.73; pain interference\n                      <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SMD<\/jats:styled-content>\n                      \u2009=\u2009\u22121.44). Heterogeneity of results was generally moderate to high. Compared to standardized long interventions, variable length interventions showed greater pre\u2010post changes in functioning, pain intensity, and pain catastrophizing. The certainty in the estimates was generally low, due to risk of bias and pre\u2010post designs.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although adolescents with chronic pain report improvements after participating in mindfulness\u2010based interventions, rigorous RCTs are needed to substantiate these results.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Significance Statement<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Chronic pain in youth is common and difficult to treat. Previous interventions have largely been based on cognitive\u2010behavioural therapy and not successful for all.
