Mindfulness for pain after arm or leg fracture surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether brief mindfulness sessions before and after surgery help people manage pain and anxiety while recovering from a broken arm or leg, and may reduce the need for strong painkillers (opioids). It aims to see if this approach is practical and helpful for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
