About this study

Official title: Brief Nurse-led Mindfulness Based Intervention Among Patients Scheduled for Knee and Hip Replacement Surgery

This is a single-site, two-arm, parallel-group randomized clinical trial (RCT). The feasibility, acceptability, and clinical effects of the nurse-led, very brief, preoperative mindfulness based intervention for hip and knee replacement patients will be investigated relative to nurse-led preoperative pain psychoeducation.

A secondary sub-analysis will compare two different styles of mindfulness practice (mindfulness of breath vs. mindfulness of pain) relative to preoperative pain psychoeducation.

Being tested
Nurse-led Mindfulness Based Intervention, Nurse-led Pain Psychoeducation
Medical subject headings
Pain, Osteoarthritis, Knee, Osteoarthritis, Hip

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Nurse-led Mindfulness Based InterventionBehavioural

    Nurses will read patients a brief (1 minute) scripted, introduction to mindfulness and then have them listen to a very brief (1 minute 30 second) guided mindfulness practice validated in our prior research to encourage focused attention on breath and body sensations and open monitoring and acceptance of discursive thoughts, negative emotions, and pain. Finally, patients will be given an audio recording of the mindful pain management technique for use any time they experience intense pain or take pain medication before and after surgery.

  • Nurse-led Pain PsychoeducationBehavioural

    Nurses will provide psychoeducation about pain along with common pain coping strategies, such as rest, ice, and elevation, for use any time they experience intense pain or take pain medication before and after surgery.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Pain Intensity Numeric Rating Scale

    Single Likert scale item ranging from 0-10, with 0 indicating no pain and 10 representing the most intense pain imaginable.

    Measured: baseline and after the 15 minute preoperative nurse visit

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in Pain Unpleasantness Numeric Rating Scale

    Single Likert scale item ranging from 0-10, with 0 indicating no pain and 10 representing the most unpleasant pain imaginable.

    Measured: baseline and after the 15 minute preoperative nurse visit

  2. Change in Pain Medication Desire Numeric Rating Scale

    Single Likert scale item ranging from 0-10, with 0 indicating no desire for pain medication and 10 representing a strong desire for pain medication.

    Measured: baseline and after the 15 minute preoperative nurse visit

  3. Postoperative Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Functioning Item Bank, v2.0

    The PROMIS physical functioning computer assisted test draws from a bank of 123 items all scored on a 5 point Likert scale.

    T-Score distributions are standardized such that a 50 represents the average (mean) for the US general population, and the standard deviation around that mean is 10 points. A high score better physical functioning.

    Measured: During the 6 weeks prior to surgery and at the 6-week outpatient follow-up appointment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nurse-led Mindfulness Based Intervention and Nurse-led Pain Psychoeducation in people with Pain and Osteoarthritis, Knee, run by University of Utah at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Pain Intensity Numeric Rating Scale (time frame: baseline and after the 15 minute preoperative nurse visit). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jan 2022.
