Summary

This study tests whether listening to short, guided mindfulness audio recordings before and after surgery for a broken arm or leg can help reduce pain, anxiety, and the need for opioid painkillers. Fifty adults will be randomly assigned to either the mindfulness group or a control group that listens to educational audio. The main goal is to see if this approach is practical enough to test in a larger study.
