Summary

This study tests whether using a mindfulness app for 8 weeks can improve quality of life, reduce anxiety and depression, and help people return to sports after ACL reconstruction surgery. About 47 participants aged 16-40 will use the app and report their progress through questionnaires. The goal is to see if a simple, remote program can ease the mental and emotional challenges of recovery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Healthy Minds Program (HMP) App - a mindfulness training app
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, app-based way to help ACL surgery patients feel less anxious, less depressed, and more ready to return to sports.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 47 people. The app may not provide significant benefits over standard care, and results may not apply to everyone.
