Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Online Mindfulness-based interventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Four weekly sessions are planned. The first session will focus on providing feedback regarding post-surgical pain. The second session will focus on teaching mindfulness strategies. The third session will focus on practicing one of the two strategies. Of note, sessions 2 and 3 will start with cognitive restructuring strategies. The 4th session consists in a booster providing feedback and reminders about cognitive reactions to pain and mindfulness meditation. The participants will be asked to practice meditation 5 days a week, for a total of 4 weeks
Group II: Online standardized educationActive Control1 Intervention
In addition to usual care, the CG will have access to one 15-minute standardized educational online session on persistent post-surgical pain, how pain and stress may interact and their potential impact on recovery.
