Mindfulness based waiting room intervention for osteopathic manipulation patients: a pilot randomized controlled trial

They randomized 39 patients to listen to either a “control” recording or a guided meditation; patients then completed surveys assessing mindfulness and “embodied safety” immediately before and after listening to the audio recording, along with a global pain rating report and a manikin capturing both pleasant and unpleasant sensation before and after the OMT session.
