First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a mobile mindfulness app (Headspace) can help people being treated for opioid use disorder who also have a history of childhood trauma. Sixty participants will be asked to use the app daily for 30 days and visit the clinic four times to check stress levels through surveys, blood tests, and heart rate measures. The main goal is to see if people will actually use the app and if it might reduce psychological stress.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to help people with opioid use disorder and childhood trauma manage stress and stick with their treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 60 people. It is not designed to prove the app works, only whether people will use it and if it seems promising. Results may not apply to everyone.
