Mindfulness and ACL Surgery
Sponsor: University of Wisconsin, Madison
Summary
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.

The full HMP app includes 5 modules with practices designed to cultivate categories of mental and emotional skills linked to both hedonic and eudaimonic well-being. These include the cultivation of mindful attention (Awareness), positive relationships with self and others (Connection), insight into the nature of self and internal experience (Insight), and purpose, values, and meaning in life (Purpose), as well as an initial module which includes abbreviated introductions to the topics and lessons in all four areas (Foundations). For this study, the active intervention will include 4 weeks of training using the Foundations module followed by 4 weeks of training using the Awareness module.
