Summary

This study tests whether an 8-week mindfulness program delivered through a smartphone app can help adolescents aged 12–18 who have persisting symptoms after a concussion or mild traumatic brain injury. Participants are randomly assigned to either the mindfulness app or a health education app. The goal is to see if a larger study is feasible by measuring interest, adherence, and helpfulness.
