Summary
This study tests whether a single, 2-hour group class called Empowered Relief can help reduce pain and improve recovery after elective orthopedic surgery compared to standard care. The class teaches pain education, self-regulation skills, and mindfulness. Researchers will follow 134 adults for 3 months to see if the class lowers pain intensity and interference.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to reduce pain and improve recovery after elective orthopedic surgery.
What could go wrong
