<![CDATA[Purpose: This study investigates the efficacy of integrative medicine in managing chronic pain, exploring various complementary therapies such as acupuncture and mindfulness-based stress reduction. Research Design and Methodology: Using a mixed-methods approach, this study conducted a systematic review of existing literature and analyzed quantitative data to assess the impact of integrative interventions on chronic pain outcomes. Findings and Discussion: The research findings suggest integrative medicine modalities, including acupuncture and mindfulness-based interventions, demonstrate promising results in reducing pain intensity, improving physical function, and enhancing overall well-being among chronic pain sufferers. However, limitations such as small sample sizes and short-term follow-up periods underscore the need for further research to validate these findings and explore long-term efficacy. Implications: These findings significantly impact scientific knowledge and clinical practice in chronic pain management. Integrative medicine offers a holistic and patient-centered approach that complements conventional treatments, highlighting the potential to address the multifaceted nature of chronic pain and improve patient's quality of life. Future research should focus on overcoming methodological limitations and integrating integrative approaches into mainstream healthcare to optimize patient care.]]>
