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 four-minute recording about different pain management strategies (e.g., ice, rest) to promote overall well-being.
MindfulnessBehavioural
In the mindfulness intervention, participants will be randomized to listen to 1 minute of psychoeducation about mindfulness that includes a patient testimonial, 1 minute of mindful breathing, 1 minute of mindful mapping (i.e., mindfulness of pain), and 1 minute of mindfulness of personal meaning.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Pain Psychoeducation | Active comparator | In the pain psychoeducation intervention, participants will be randomized to listen to a four-minute recording about different pain management strategies (e.g., ice, rest) to promote overall well-being. Receives: Behavioral: Pain Psychoeducation |
| Mindfulness | Experimental | In the mindfulness intervention, participants will be randomized to listen to 1 minute of psychoeducation about mindfulness that includes a patient testimonial, 1 minute of mindful breathing, 1 minute of mindful mapping (i.e., mindfulness of pain), and 1 minute of mindfulness of personal meaning. Receives: Behavioral: Mindfulness |
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 4-minute audio recording
Secondary outcomes (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 4-minute audio recording
