The Effect of Mindfulness Training Before Primary Total Joint Arthroplasty on Sleep Quality

July 7, 2023 updated by: Jason Jennings, Colorado Joint Replacement
The primary purpose of this study is the determine whether a 15 minute Mindfulness Meditation (MM) administered at the preoperative appointment prior to primary unilateral total joint arthroplasty (TJA) results in any improvement in Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score, a validated metric for sleep quality, at 2, 6 or 12 weeks post-operatively.

Detailed Description

The primary purpose of this study is the determine whether a 15 minute Mindfulness Meditation (MM) administered at the preoperative appointment prior to primary unilateral total joint arthroplasty (TJA) results in any improvement in Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score, a validated metric for sleep quality, at 2, 6 or 12 weeks post-operatively. We hypothesize that patients in the MM cohort will have lower PSQI scores, indicating higher sleep quality, at both post-operative time points. Secondary aims include characterizing differences between cohorts in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) scores, Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System - Sleep Disturbance - Short Form, and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (KOOS) at 2, 6 and 12 weeks following TJA.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 90 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients undergoing primary unilateral total joint arthroplasty at Colorado Joint Replacement
  • Between the ages of 18 and 90 years old will be included in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Simultaneous total joint arthroplasty
  • Uni-compartmental knee arthroplasty
  • Revision surgery for infection, fracture or other indication.
  • History of Drug or Alcohol Abuse
  • Patients who are unable to present at a standard pre-operative appointment within 4 weeks prior to scheduled surgery will also be excluded, as the MM intervention would not be possible to administer.
