Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a single-site, two-arm, parallel-group randomized clinical trial (RCT). The clinical effects of a 4-minute audio-recorded cyclical sighing intervention for orthopedic patients will be investigated relative to a 4-minute audio-recoding about pain psychoeducation.
