What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: cognitive behavioral therapy based self-management program
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide a practical way to reduce anxiety and improve mental health for people who survive severe breathing problems in the ICU.
What could go wrong: This is a very small pilot study with only 60 people, so results may not apply to everyone. It is testing feasibility, not yet proven to work.
