This Controlled Randomized Clinical Trial aimed at determining the effectiveness of a modified RR intervention in reducing post-operative pain and psychological symptoms in patients undergoing surgery intervention. Researches hypothesized that compared to controls patients undergoing modified RR intervention were characterized by 1. improved capability to discriminate emotions from bodily feelings; 2. reduce emotional distress; 3. reduced pain perception. Moreover, researches hypothesized that (4) these effects were maintained over time.
