Detailed description
This project is a single-site, four-arm, randomized controlled trial investigating whether providing patients in an orthopedic clinic waiting room the ability to choose which pain management intervention the receive impacts the degree of pain relief they experience. Participants will be randomized to one of three conditions: 1) a 4-minute pain psychoeducation recording, 2) a 4-minute mindfulness recording, or 3) choice.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Pain Unpleasantness Numeric Rating Scale | Immediately before to after 7 to 10-minute audio recording | Change in acute pain unpleasantness will be measured with an individual item (How unpleasant is your pain, right now?) rated on a numeric rating scale. Scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores reflecting greater acute pain unpleasantness. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Pain Intensity Numeric Rating Scale | Immediately before to after 7 to 10-minute audio recording | Change in acute pain intensity will be measured with an individual item (How much pain do you have, right now?) rated on a numeric rating scale. Scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores reflecting greater acute pain intensity. |
| Change in Anxiety Numeric Rating Scale | Immediately before to after 7 to 10-minute audio recording | Change in anxiety from baseline will be assessed with the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 2-item. Scores range from 0 to 6, with higher scores reflecting greater anxiety. |
