Summary

New and return patients seeing an orthopedic specialist were randomized to evaluate one of 7 brief explanations of the mind-body connection with variations in cognitive, emotional, or physiology-based explanations. Reactions were measured as resonance (Likert scale) and Self-Assessment Manikins (SAM) for happiness, excitement, and control. Patients also completed demographic and mental and emotional health surveys. Overall 304 patients were included (mean age 49 -17, range 18 to 87; 51% men). Multilevel multivariable linear regression models were constructed to assess factors associated with resonance, happiness, excitement, and control.
