Read the detailed description

This project is a single-site, four-arm, randomized controlled trial investigating whether providing patients in an orthopedic clinic waiting room the ability to choose which pain management intervention the receive impacts the degree of pain relief they experience. Participants will be randomized to one of three conditions: 1) a 4-minute pain psychoeducation recording, 2) a 4-minute mindfulness recording, or 3) choice. In the choice condition, participants will be able to choose which recoding (i.e., pain psychoeducation or mindfulness) they would like to listen to.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Pain Unpleasantness Numeric Rating Scale

    Change in acute pain unpleasantness will be measured with an individual item ("How unpleasant is your pain, right now?") rated on a numeric rating scale. Scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores reflecting greater acute pain unpleasantness.

    Measured: Immediately before to after 7 to 10-minute audio recording

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in Pain Intensity Numeric Rating Scale

    Change in acute pain intensity will be measured with an individual item ("How much pain do you have, right now?") rated on a numeric rating scale. Scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores reflecting greater acute pain intensity.

    Measured: Immediately before to after 7 to 10-minute audio recording

  2. Change in Anxiety Numeric Rating Scale

    Change in anxiety from baseline will be assessed with the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 2-item. Scores range from 0 to 6, with higher scores reflecting greater anxiety.

    Measured: Immediately before to after 7 to 10-minute audio recording

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pain Psychoeducation and Mindful Pain Management in people with Pain and Acute Pain, run by Florida State University 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 3 inclusion and 1 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 21 Mar 2025. 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 Unpleasantness Numeric Rating Scale (time frame: Immediately before to after 7 to 10-minute audio recording). 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 21 Mar 2025.
