Mindfulness and ACL Surgery (NCT05542563)

The Influence of Mindfulness on Patient-Reported Outcomes, Return to Sport and Re-Injury Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction Surgery

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿง  Behavioral & Psychological Program Sponsor: University of Wisconsin, Madison

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery patients experience physical trauma, both in the physical injury itself and following surgery, and face potential long-lasting adverse effects such as muscle weakness, diminished joint function, hip pain, and fear. Many of these patients report more significant anxiety and depression following surgery, which can further compound these patients' adverse outcomes. This study is a single-blind, randomized controlled trial design to evaluate the effects of a remotely-delivered 8-week mindfulness intervention on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following ACL reconstruction surgery.
