Summary

This clinical trial tests the feasibility and how well a scheduled meditation intervention works to improve postoperative outcomes such as pain, anxiety, insomnia, stress and mobility for patients undergoing pancreatectomy. Many patients undergoing pancreatectomy surgery report clinically important fatigue, pain, and/or reduction in quality of life. Meditation is a behavioral intervention that has been studied in a variety of medical and surgical settings, where it has been associated with reductions in pain, anxiety, blood pressure, and lack of sleep, and in some cases with decreased pain and shorter length of stay. The meditation intervention using Headspace is an easily accessible and interactive way to complete scheduled meditation. This may improve postoperative outcomes for patients undergoing pancreatectomy.
