Smartphone app may help tame daily stress in borderline personality
NCT ID NCT07464301
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a smartphone app called SAM could help adults with borderline personality disorder traits manage daily stress. Sixteen participants used the app for four weeks, answering quick stress questions several times a day and getting feedback on their patterns. The goal was to see if the app could lower stress levels and improve coping skills. Since the study was small and had no comparison group, the results are preliminary.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Stress management mobile application (SAM app)
What this could lead to
If it works, this app could offer a simple, low-cost way for people with borderline personality traits to better understand and manage their daily stress.
What could go wrong
This was a very small study (16 people) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The app was designed for autism, not specifically for borderline personality disorder.
