Summary

This study tests whether a brief mindfulness or biofeedback session before shoulder surgery can reduce pain, improve shoulder function, sleep, mood, and quality of life after the operation. About 120 people with long-term shoulder pain will be randomly assigned to one of three short behavioral sessions. The goal is to see if these simple mind-body techniques help recovery beyond standard care.
