Comparing Mindfulness-based Breath Training and Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback for Shoulder Surgery Patients in the Postoperative Pain.
Sponsor: Chang Gung Memorial Hospital
Summary
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.

Interventions
Mindfulness-based breathing
The 20-minute mindfulness session is a scripted mindfulness exercise that incorporates mindfulness principles of intentionally paying attention to present-moment experiences in a non-judgmental fashion.
HRV biofeedback
The 20-minute HRV biofeedback is based on the resonant frequency breathing with an external pacemaker. Generally, the breath rhythm is between 4.5 and 6.5 times per min.
cognitive-behavioral pain psychoeducation
The 20-minute psychoeducation session is a supportive session where behavioral coping strategies for pain management are discussed.
