Summary

This study tests whether watching short videos with mindfulness exercises (like guided meditation or expressive writing) before and after abdominal cancer surgery can help manage pain and distress. About 95 adults will be assigned to mindfulness videos, standard hospital resources, or a combination. Researchers will check if patients find these videos helpful and if one approach works better than another.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
mindfulness intervention (guided meditation or expressive writing) and non-mindfulness intervention (standard resources)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give patients simple video tools to better manage pain and emotional distress after cancer surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study, not designed to prove effectiveness. Results may not apply to all patients or settings.
