Interventions
Participants assigned to the Meditation intervention will receive focused attention meditation training preoperatively, and encouraged to meditate for 20 minutes per day before surgery. In the postoperative inpatient period, the participants will be offered standard holistic health care, reinforcement of meditation training, and encouragement to practice at least 20 minutes of guided focused-attention meditation with breath as their focus, utilizing the MUSETM headband for bio-feedback, every day during their hospital stay. They will be asked to continue using the MUSETM neurofeedback-assisted meditation after hospital discharge, until their visit to repeat pain testing, at which time they will return the MUSETM headband.
