Online depression program for orthopedic patients pulled before starting
NCT ID NCT03083340
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to see if a web-based self-help program called Deprexis could help orthopedic patients with major depressive disorder. The plan was to offer the 8-week online program to patients with depression and see if they would use it and if their mood and physical function improved. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Deprexis (web-based self-help program)
What this could lead to
If it had worked, this could have pointed toward a convenient, low-cost way to help orthopedic patients manage depression alongside their physical recovery.
What could go wrong
The study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so we have no data on whether the program would actually help. It was also a small, early-stage feasibility study, not a large trial.
