What this Trial Is About
Although shoulder surgeries can effectively relieve pain intensity and restore shoulder function, some patients reported persistent post-operative pain at the 6-month post-surgery follow-up visit. This randomized study aims to determine the effectiveness of three different types of bio-psychosocial support to pre-operative shoulder surgery patients. This study will examine the differential effects of brief mindfulness-based breathing, heart rate variability biofeedback (HRV-BF), and cognitive behavioral pain psychoeducation for pre-operative patients.
