Interventions

1-Minute Mindfulness Intervention

Participants listen to a 1-minute audio recording delivering a brief, guided mindfulness exercise focused on breath awareness. The intervention instructs participants to attend to the sensations of inhalation and exhalation, use simple mental labels (e.g., "in," "out"), and gently return attention to the breath when distracted. Participants are also encouraged to notice discomfort without attempting to change it.

2-Minute Mindfulness Intervention

Participants listen to a 2-minute audio recording delivering a brief, guided mindfulness exercise focused on breath awareness. The intervention instructs participants to attend to the sensations of inhalation and exhalation, use simple mental labels (e.g., "in," "out"), and gently return attention to the breath when distracted. Participants are also encouraged to notice discomfort without attempting to change it.

3-Minute Mindfulness Intervention

Participants listen to a 3-minute audio recording delivering a brief, guided mindfulness exercise focused on breath awareness. The intervention instructs participants to attend to the sensations of inhalation and exhalation, use simple mental labels (e.g., "in," "out"), and gently return attention to the breath when distracted. Participants are also encouraged to notice discomfort without attempting to change it.

Primary outcome measure

  • Change in Pain Unpleasantness Numeric Rating Scale [ Time Frame: Immediately before to after the 1- to 3-minute audio recording ]
