The effect of mindfulness-based preoperative education on postoperative pain: a Solomon four-group randomized controlled trial.

Conclusion The findings indicate that mindfulness-based education may be associated with reductions in postoperative cognitive intrusion of pain in pretest–posttest comparisons, although most outcomes did not reach statistical significance. Although changes in pain-related fear were not significant, the findings indicate that mindfulness-informed education may enhance patients’ psychological readiness before surgery.
