What this trial studies

This is a single-site randomized study with three different lengths of audio-guided mindfulness practices (1, 2, or 3 minutes) to see which duration best reduces acute pain in patients awaiting orthopedic treatment. Participants are adults receiving care at Tallahassee Orthopedic Center and must understand English and consent to participate. The study compares the three interventions to determine if duration influences pain relief in a waiting-room setting. No blinding details are provided in the description, and the trial is sponsored by Florida State University with coordination at the Tallahassee Orthopedic Clinic.
