What is being measured

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

  1. Acceptability

    75% of patients that begin an audio recording will listen to the full, 5-minute recording

    Measured: A single 5-minute period

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in Pain

    Single item assessing pain ("Right now, I feel physical pain") scored on an 11-point (0=Not at all, 10=Very much) numeric rating scale. Higher scores indicate greater pain.

    Measured: Immediately before to after 5-minute audio recording

  2. Change in Anxiety

    Single item assessing anxiety ("Right now, I feel nervous, anxious or on edge") scored on an 11-point (0=Not at all, 10=Very much) numeric rating scale. Higher scores indicate greater anxiety.

    Measured: Immediately before to after 5-minute audio recording

  3. Change in Depression

    Single item assessing depression ("Right now, I feel down, depressed, of uninterested in life") scored on an 11-point (0=Not at all, 10=Very much) numeric rating scale. Higher scores indicate greater depression.

    Measured: Immediately before to after 5-minute audio recording
