Is trait mindfulness associated with pain interference in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty? A prospective cohort study
Key Points
- This research aims to investigate the relationship between trait mindfulness and pain interference in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
- Prospective cohort design
- Assessment of trait mindfulness in patients
- Evaluation of pain outcomes post-TKA
- Trait mindfulness is associated with pain and function at the time of assessment
- It does not predict longer-term recovery after TKA
- Recommendation for further research on trait mindfulness and pain dynamics in TKA patients
Abstract
This is the first study exploring trait mindfulness in relation to pain outcomes after TKA. Findings suggest trait mindfulness is related to pain and function at the time of assessment but may not predict longer-term recovery. Additional research into this topic is warranted to determine the value and impact of assessing trait mindfulness in individuals undergoing TKA.
