First seen Mar 13, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This small pilot study tests whether a 5-week outdoor mindful walking and running program, guided by the Headspace app, is practical and helpful for people with patellofemoral pain (pain around the kneecap). Researchers will enroll 20 adults to see if the program reduces knee pain, fear of movement, and improves running form. The goal is to gather initial data to plan larger future studies.
