Three aspects of mindfulness; Acting-with-awareness, Non-judging and Describing were strongly correlated with less anxiety, stress, depression, a better quality of life, and reduced fibromyalgia impact, according to a piece of research published in the journal, 'Clinical Rheumatology'. Mindfulness is a condition of enhanced self-regulated attention with a curious, open, and non-judgmental mind via one's present event that provides significant positive outcomes among patients with chronic pain if available in higher levels although its impact on fibromyalgia was not evaluated prior to this study.

Therefore, this cross-sectional analysis was conducted to assess the impact of mindfulness on pain interference, quality of life, physical and psychological symptoms among patients with fibromyalgia. Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) was applied to estimate the mindfulness. The relationship between mindfulness and fibromyalgia and associated factors were measured using the Pearson's correlations and multivariable linear regression models.

One hundred seventy-seven patients were included in the analysis. Higher total mindfulness showed a significant relationship with lower stress, depression, anxiety, pain interference, fibromyalgia impact, and better mental health-related quality of life. The aspects of mindfulness associated with these outcomes were acting-with-awareness, Non-judging, and Describing. Prospective investigations are required to evaluate how mind-body treatments aiming to develop mindfulness may affect the well-being of individuals with fibromyalgia.
