Abstract
Objectives
Recent brief mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) provided before surgery have shown promising results in improving clinical outcomes in patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA). However, they have not been delivered in the subacute phase after surgery to target patients at risk for chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP). The use of technologies allowing remote and online delivery can help increase the accessibility of these interventions.
Method
We conducted a single site, two-arm pilot randomized controlled trial to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of online Mini More (i.e., a condensed, 4-week mindfulness-based program) promoting pain self-management during the subacute postoperative phase. We randomized 36 patients into two groups (Mini MORE, n = 18 and Pain Coping Education, n = 18). Postoperative outcomes were: pain intensity, pain interference, analgesic medication use, pain catastrophizing, pain acceptance and mindfulness.
Results
Results indicated that Mini MORE was highly feasible and well received. Further, results indicated that pain intensity (d = 1.47, p < 0.001) as well as pain interference levels (d = 1.04, p = 0.005) and medication use (Cliff’s Delta=-0.56, p = 0.02) were significantly different between groups after treatment. Statistically significant group by time interactions were found for both pain intensity (p < 0.001) and pain interference (p = 0.003), and a trend toward a decrease in pain medication use (p = 0.05) was observed in favor of the Mini MORE group. No statistically significant differences were found between groups for pain acceptance (d = -0.58), pain catastrophizing (d = 0.01) and mindfulness (d = -0.23).
Conclusions
Our results suggest Mini MORE is a feasible and acceptable brief, online MBI potentially capable of decreasing pain intensity and pain interference in the subacute period after TJA, thus Mini MORE may be a promising tool for preventing CPSP.
期刊介绍:
Mindfulness seeks to advance research, clinical practice, and theory on mindfulness. It is interested in manuscripts from diverse viewpoints, including psychology, psychiatry, medicine, neurobiology, psychoneuroendocrinology, cognitive, behavioral, cultural, philosophy, spirituality, and wisdom traditions. Mindfulness encourages research submissions on the reliability and validity of assessment of mindfulness; clinical uses of mindfulness in psychological distress, psychiatric disorders, and medical conditions; alleviation of personal and societal suffering; the nature and foundations of mindfulness; mechanisms of action; and the use of mindfulness across cultures. The Journal also seeks to promote the use of mindfulness by publishing scholarly papers on the training of clinicians, institutional staff, teachers, parents, and industry personnel in mindful provision of services. Examples of topics include: Mindfulness-based psycho-educational interventions for children with learning, emotional, and behavioral disorders Treating depression and clinical symptoms in patients with chronic heart failure Yoga and mindfulness Cognitive-behavioral mindfulness group therapy interventions Mindfulnessness and emotional regulation difficulties in children Loving-kindness meditation to increase social connectedness Training for parents and children with ADHD Recovery from substance abuse Changing parents’ mindfulness Child management skills Treating childhood anxiety and depression
