A Combination Mindfulness and Music Intervention for Acute Pain

Description

This project is a single-site, four-arm, randomized controlled trial evaluating a combination mindfulness + music intervention on acute pain among patients in an orthopedic clinic waiting room. Participants will be randomized to one of four conditions: 1) a 5-minute mindfulness recording, 2) a 5-minute mindfulness recording with an accompanying sustained tone at 65.41 Hertz, 3) a 5-minute mindfulness recording with an accompanying binaural beat set at 65.41 Hertz in the left ear and 69.41 Hertz in the right ear, or 4) a 5-minute mindfulness recording with an accompanying binaural beat set at 65.41 Hertz in the left ear and 69.41 Hertz in the right ear as well as instrumental, theta wave music.
