Integration of Mindfulness and Acupuncture After Spine Surgery: Protocol for a Randomized Acceptability and Feasibility Trial

The I-MASS program addresses the need for mind and body treatments to improve recovery and reduce the risk of persistent pain and opioid use after spine surgery. This integrated model of care is designed to be user-friendly and scalable, enhancing its potential for implementation in real-world settings. A future pragmatic trial is planned to determine if the I-MASS program results in better outcomes compared to either treatment alone or usual care.
