What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Pain PsychoeducationBehavioural
In the pain psychoeducation intervention, participants will be randomized to listen to a three-minute recording about different pain management strategies (e.g., ice, rest) to promote overall well-being.
Mindfulness without PsychoeducationBehavioural
In the mindfulness without psychoeducation intervention, participants will be randomized to listen to a three-minute mindfulness practice consisting of 1 minute of mindful breathing, 1 minute of mindful mapping, and 1 minute of mindfulness of personal meaning.
1 Minute Psychoeducation with 2 Minutes of Mindfulness (Pain Focus)Behavioural
In the 1 Minute Psychoeducation with 2 minutes of Mindfulness (Pain Focus) intervention, participants will be randomized to listen to a 1 minute of psychoeducation about mindfulness, 1 minute of mindful breathing and 1 minute of mindful mapping.
1 Minute Psychoeducation with 2 Minutes of Mindfulness (Meaning Focus)Behavioural
In the 1 Minute Psychoeducation with 2 minutes of Mindfulness (Meaning Focus) intervention, participants will be randomized to listen to a 1 minute of psychoeducation about mindfulness, 1 minute of mindful breathing and 1 minute of mindfulness of personal meaning.
2 Minutes of Psychoeducation with 1 Minute of MindfulnessBehavioural
In the 2 Minutes of Psychoeducation with 1 Minute of Mindfulness intervention, participants will be randomized to listen to a 2 minute of psychoeducation about mindfulness and 1 minute of mindful breathing.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
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 3-minute audio recording
Secondary outcomes (2)
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 3-minute audio recording
Change in Anxiety Numeric Rating Scale
Change in anxiety from baseline will be assessed a single item adapted from the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-2. Scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores reflecting greater anxiety.
Measured: Immediately before to after 3-minute audio recording
