Brain Mechanisms Supporting Cannabis-Induced Pain Relief
Primary Objective: To determine the neural mechanisms supporting cannabis-induced analgesia in chronic low back pain patients.
Summary: Are you interested in the effects of cannabis on the brain? Researchers at the University of California, San Diego are looking to recruit individuals to study the effects of cannabis on pain. Participants will undergo heat stimulation that may produce the feeling of pain during an MRI scan and the administration of vaporized cannabis. Participants will be financially compensated for their time.

Brain Mechanisms Supporting Empathy Cultivation, Compassion Development, And Pain-Relief By Compassion-Based Mental Training
Mindfulness Intervention: Brain mechanisms supporting empathy cultivation, compassion development, and pain-relief by compassion-based mental training
Target Health Outcomes: Examine psychophysical and neural mechanisms evoked by each respective meditative technique during noxious heat stimulation and if these mechanisms are modified by training dosage
Summary: Are you in a committed, monogamous relationship and interested in learning mindfulness meditation? Researchers at the University of California at San Diego are looking to recruit healthy females and their monogamous romantic partner of at least three months to participate in a study examining if and how mindfulness-based mental training affects psychological, neural and inflammatory processes supporting the feeling of pain and health. Participants will undergo heat stimulation that may produce the feeling of pain during an MRI scan, blood draw and participate in standardized mindfulness meditation intervention. Participants will be financially compensated for their time.

Dissecting The Effects of Meditative Techniques On Empathy, Compassion, and Health
Mindfulness Intervention: Dissecting the effects of meditative techniques on empathy, compassion and health
Target Health Outcomes: Examine the behavioral and neural mechanisms supporting the operational practice of these techniques
Summary: Are you interested in learning meditation? Researchers at the University of California at San Diego are conducting a study on the psychological effects of mental training on individuals’ well-being, using Zoom. Participants will complete short study assessments, before and after meditation trainings.

Chronic Low Back Pain and Mindfulness Meditation
Mindfulness Intervention: Chronic low back pain and mindfulness meditation
Target Health Outcomes: Evaluation of effect of mindfulness-based mental training on pain
Summary: Do you have chronic low back pain? Researchers at the University of California, San Diego are conducting a brain imaging study to determine how meditation impacts pain. Participants will undergo heat stimulation that may produce the feeling of pain during an MRI scan and a back pain-inducing leg lifting procedure. If you qualify, participants will either be assigned to a meditation or book-listening group. Participants will be compensated $500 for completing the study.
