Can calming your mind before surgery speed your recovery?

NCT ID NCT06180486

Summary

This small pilot study tested if a mindfulness meditation program given before knee replacement surgery could help patients feel better mentally and physically after their operation. Thirty patients were randomly assigned to either receive the meditation training before surgery or be placed on a waitlist to receive it later. The main goal was to see if running this type of study was practical and to gather initial data to plan a larger future trial.
