Study Summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of mindfulness meditation technique on post-operative pain of spine surgery subjects. Subjects will participate in a 6-week mindfulness meditation program, beginning two weeks prior to spine surgery. The investigators are interested in determining if this intervention improves the ability to tolerate pain and reduces anxiety, thus reducing the need for prescribed analgesics and narcotics. The meditation intervention will be compared against a control group consisting of subjects that will undergo music therapy during the same period of time.
