What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The overarching objective of this proposal is to conduct a multi-site Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) across multiple Military Health System (MHS) sites to optimize the sequencing and integration of two intervention strategies in total knee arthoplasty (TKA) patients: a single-session mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) and an intensive 8-week MBI-Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) designed to simultaneously reduce prolonged pain and chronic opioid use by enhancing self-regulation. Aim 1: Evaluate the extent to which a brief preoperative MBI improves TKA patients' postoperative musculoskeletal health and reduces chronic opioid use.
