Preoperative Mindfulness: Minimally Invasive Hysterectomy

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Pain, Postoperative

In brief

This is a randomized control trial investigating the effects of a preoperative mindfulness intervention on postoperative pain, quality of recovery and stress scores in women undergoing minimally invasive hysterectomy. The mindfulness intervention will be delivered via the application Headspace™. The study team hypothesizes that mindfulness practiced in the form of meditation delivered via an internet application will lead to reduced pain scores on postoperative day 1.
