Summary

This trial tests whether a brief, 4-minute audio recording of mindful breathing and mindfulness of pain can lower how unpleasant pain feels compared to a standard audio about pain coping tips. About 200 English- and Spanish-speaking adults seeking care at a free clinic will be randomly assigned to one of the two recordings. The goal is to see if a quick mindfulness exercise can offer immediate relief without medication.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: a 4-minute audio recording of mindful breathing and mindfulness of pain exercises
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a quick, free, drug-free way to reduce pain unpleasantness in a clinic setting.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial testing only a single 4-minute session, so any effects may be short-lived or not generalizable to other settings.
