Summary

This study tests whether using a mental health app called SuperBetter can help adolescent dancers recover from foot or ankle injuries. Fifty dancers aged 13 to 18 will use the app for 10 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 12 weeks alongside their usual physical therapy. The goal is to see if the app boosts self-compassion and helps more dancers return to full, unrestricted dance.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
SuperBetter mental health app
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, app-based way to support mental health during injury recovery, helping young dancers return to dance sooner.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all dancers. The app is an add-on to physical therapy, not a replacement, and its benefit over standard care alone is uncertain.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
