Summary

This study tests whether short, guided mindfulness audio recordings can help people with broken arms or legs manage pain and anxiety before and after surgery. Fifty adults will be randomly assigned to listen to either a mindfulness exercise or an educational recording. The main goal is to see if this approach is practical enough for a larger trial, while also checking if it reduces pain, anxiety, and opioid use six weeks after surgery.
