Mind over matter: video education eases teen leg pain?
NCT ID NCT05701618
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a video that teaches teens how fear and stress affect pain can help them recover from leg pain. 86 teens with leg pain for over a month took surveys and wore activity trackers. Half watched the special video, and all were followed for a year to see if their pain, function, and activity improved.
