Summary

This study tests whether using a mindfulness app for 4 weeks can reduce anxiety in adults waiting for elective surgery. 40 participants will either use the app plus standard care or standard care alone. Researchers will measure anxiety on the day of surgery and track pain and painkiller use afterward.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
mobile-based mindfulness intervention
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to help patients feel calmer before surgery without medication.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 40 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The app's effect on anxiety may be small or hard to measure.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
