The objective of this study is to determine whether a brief, audio-guided mindfulness intervention reduces acute pain unpleasantness, pain intensity, and anxiety, and improves treatment satisfaction when compared with a pain psychoeducation intervention.
Experimental: The mindfulness intervention will involve a 2-minute introduction to mindfulness as a technique for pain management followed by a 5-minute, audio-guided, mindful breathing practice. Active Comparator: In the pain psychoeducation intervention, participants will be provided time-matched information about different pain management strategies (e.g., ice, rest) and accessible resources to promote overall well-being.
