Brief Summary: This pilot randomized controlled trial aims to recruit 66 community-dwelling older adults with chronic low back pain and follow up them for 8 weeks This study aims to test the preliminary effect of a mindfulness-based meditation MBM intervention on pain and symptoms among community-dwelling older adults with chronic low back pain and also to test the effect of the MBM intervention on the host Gut-Brain Axis GBA
Detailed Description: Aim 1 to test the preliminary effect of a mindfulness-based meditation MBM intervention on pain and symptoms among community-dwelling older adults with chronic low back pain

Hypothesis We hypothesize that our active mindfulness-based meditation intervention will be feasible and acceptable to community-dwelling older adults with chronic low back pain and improve pain and symptoms to a greater extent than older adults randomized to a sham mindfulness-based meditation group

Aim 2 to test the effect of the mindfulness-based meditation intervention on the host Gut-Brain Axis GBA and inflammatory cytokines CRP IL and TNF

Hypothesis We hypothesize that older adults randomized to the active mindfulness-based meditation intervention will have significantly improved compositional patterns and functional profiles of gut microbiota and increased pain-related cortical response measured by functional near-infrared spectroscopy fNIRS to a greater extent than older adults randomized to the sham mindfulness-based meditation group at 2-weeks post-intervention and 8-weeks follow up We also hypothesize that older adults randomized to the active mindfulness-based meditation intervention will have significantly decreased inflammatory cytokines CRP IL and TNF levels at 8-weeks follow up than older adults randomized to the sham mindfulness-based meditation group
