Mindful–based methods are used in CLBP rehabilitation, improving emotion regulation skills (ERS) and decreasing pain, including a newly developed intervention Mindful-Based Dance Movement Therapy (MBDMT). Objective: to determine whether the 10x MBDMT in a group improves ERS and reduces pain for CLBP patients. Material and methods: randomized controlled trial N=34; experimental group (n = 13, MBDMT twice a week, 10x, 1,5h): age M=44.23, SD=8,61; male n=1, female n=12; control group (n=21, without MBDMT): age M=42.62, SD=10.35; male n=3, female n=18. Inclusion: low back pain intensity at least 1 (NRS) >3 months; age 25–65 years; ERSQ-27 total <4; spondylosis; lumbosacral disc disorders. Exclusion: acute/subacute pain; cancer; trauma; pregnancy; dance therapy contraindications. Instruments: Emotion Regulation Skills Questionnaire- ERSQ-27; Pain Numeric Rating Scale-NRS; sociodemographic questionnaire. Measurements: ERS with ERSQ-27 for both groups before/after the intervention; pain with NRS for both groups twice a week during the intervention. Results: higher ERS index in the experimental group, compared to the control group (U=55.00, p=0.003) after MBDMT. A decrease in pain intensity for the experimental group (T=-1.98, p=0.048).

Conclusion: there are tendencies for MBDMT to improve ERS and decrease pain in CLBP patients, also there is a need for a larger research group for more significant results. Keywords: emotion regulation skills; chronic low back pain; mindfulness; dance movement therapy. Introduction CLBP is one of the major leading causes for long-term disability for the male and female population in 195 countries, including Latvia (GBD 2017 Disease and Injury Incidence and Prevalence Collaborators, 2018). In recent years there is growing evidence and recommendations for mindful- based methods in CLBP rehabilitation (Qaseem et al., 2017), as well as for the biopsychosocial approach to address nonspecific CLBP patients (Foster et al., 2018). Mindful-based methods for chronic conditions have become more and more popular in the rehabilitation setting during the last years, and there is growing evidence for the mindful-based
