NCT ID NCT04039386
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a smartphone app that teaches cognitive behavioral therapy can help young adults (ages 15-39) with hip pain feel less depressed, anxious, and stressed. Researchers will also measure pain, physical function, and opioid use. Half of the 150 participants will use the app alongside standard care, while the other half receives standard care alone. The goal is to see if addressing mental health can improve overall outcomes for hip pain.
