Mindfulness App for Hip Surgery Recovery
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
Hip preservation surgery patients experience physical trauma, both in the physical injury itself and following surgery, and face potential long-lasting effects such as muscle weakness or diminished joint function, hip pain, and fear. Many of these patients report greater anxiety and depression following surgery, which can further compound negative outcomes in these patients. This study is a single-blind, randomized controlled trial design to evaluate the effects of a remotely-delivered 8-week mindfulness intervention on patient-reported outcomes following hip preservation surgery.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.
Is the Mindfulness App safe for use in humans?
How does the mindfulness app treatment for hip surgery recovery differ from other treatments?
The mindfulness app treatment is unique because it uses a digital platform to deliver mindfulness exercises, which can help reduce stress and improve mental health during recovery from hip surgery. Unlike traditional pain management methods that often rely on medications, this app-based approach offers a non-drug alternative that can be easily accessed and used by patients at their convenience.46789
