First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether listening to a 1- or 2-minute guided mindfulness audio can reduce pain in people waiting for orthopedic care. 300 adults will be randomly assigned to one of two mindfulness exercises or a control. The goal is to see if a brief, easy-to-use technique can make a real difference in how unpleasant or intense their pain feels.
