New Options for Treating Knee Osteoarthritis Pain

Reiki will be provided by a trained Reiki master with the aim of balancing the flow of energy in the patient's body.

Sham Reiki will be delivered by an individual trained to simulate the Reiki interventionist's movements, but they will not visualize patient healing

The mindfulness meditation intervention will be adapted from a standardized mindfulness induction script validated in prior research. The mindfulness practice will guide patients to focus attention on breath and body sensations while monitoring and accepting discursive thoughts, negative emotions, and pain. The MM interventionist will be a trained mindfulness provider and have experience using MM in medical settings.
