Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine within a randomized controlled trial the feasibility of a 60-second acceptance based mindfulness exercise for patients with musculoskeletal pain versus usual medical care. Feasibility will be evaluated as the number of individuals approached who agree to participate and the number of individuals who drop out prior to completion of post intervention questionnaires.

The investigators aim to determine the usefulness and acceptability of the 60-second acceptance based mindfulness exercise for patients with musculoskeletal pain as compared to usual medical care. Usefulness and acceptability will be assessed with the Client Satisfaction Scale-3 (CSQ-3).

The investigators also aim to determine whether participating in a personalized 60-second acceptance based mindfulness exercise (e.g., intervention) is associated with significantly more improvement in patients' ratings of state anxiety and pain intensity (co-primary outcomes), and to determine if Distress, Anxiety, Depression and Anger (secondary outcomes) decrease compared to a brief educational pamphlet (e.g., control).

The investigators also aim to determine whether any improvements observed will maintain within a 3 month follow up.
