Clinical Trial 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.


Description:

Rationale and Approach: ACL reconstruction surgery patients experience physical trauma, both in the physical injury itself and following surgery, and face potential adverse long-lasting effects such as muscle weakness, arthritis, persistent knee pain, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and fear of re-injury. Many of these patients report sufficient psychological trauma that undermines a return to sport and potentially contributes to the risk of re-injury to the repaired knee. 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 following ACL reconstruction surgery. - Specific Aim 1: To determine the influence of mindfulness training on patient-reported outcomes and return to sport following ACL reconstruction surgery - Hypothesis 1: Mindfulness training will be associated with improvements in pain, quality of life, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and fear of re-injury, as well as greater likelihood of returning to sport in the 24 months following ACL reconstruction surgery - Specific Aim 2: To determine the influence of mindfulness training on re-injury risk following ACL reconstruction surgery - Hypothesis 2: Among those participants that return to sport, mindfulness training will be associated with a decreased risk of ipsilateral ACL rupture in the 24 months following ACL reconstruction surgery - Specific Aim 3: To determine the factors that influence mindfulness efficacy in patient-reported outcomes and return to sport following ACL reconstruction surgery - Hypothesis 3: Among participants in the mindfulness group, total duration of mindfulness training and female gender will be independently associated with improvements in pain, quality of life, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and fear of re-injury, as well as greater likelihood of returning to sport in the 24 months following ACL reconstruction surgery

Intervention

Behavioral:
Healthy Minds Program (HMP) App
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.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change in PROMIS Global Health Questionnaire (GHQ) Score Global quality of life (QoL) will be assessed via a 9-item questionnaire scored on a 0-100 scale where higher scores indicate better QoL, pain interference, and fatigue. baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months post surgery
Primary Change in PROMIS Anxiety Questionnaire Score Anxiety will be assessed via an 8-item questionnaire scored from 0-5 where higher scores represents greater anxiety. baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months post surgery
Primary Change in PROMIS Depression Questionnaire Score Depression will be assessed via an 8-item questionnaire scored from 0-5 where higher scores represents greater depression. baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months post surgery
Primary Change in Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) Score Pain severity is assessed via a single item survey scored from 0-100 where a higher score indicates greater pain. baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months post surgery
Primary Change in Horowitz Impact of Events Scale Score Post-traumatic stress is assessed via a 15-item survey scored from 0-3 where higher scores indicate greater level of post-traumatic stress. baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months post surgery
Primary Change in Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia 11 (TSK-11) Score Fear of re-injury is assessed via an 11-item survey scored from 1-4 where higher scores indicate a greater fear of re-injury. baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months post surgery
Primary Change in Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) Score Pain catastrophizing is assessed via a 13-item survey scored from 0-4 where higher scores indicate a higher level of pain catastrophizing. baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months post surgery
Primary Change in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Return to Sport After Injury scale (ACL-RSI) Score Psychological readiness is assessed via a 12-item survey scored on an 11-point scale where higher scores indicate a higher level of readiness. baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months post surgery
Primary Change in Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS) Score Athletic identity is assessed via a 10-item survey with a total range of scores from 10-70 where higher scores indicate a higher level of athletic identity. baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months post surgery
Primary Change in International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Knee Evaluation Form Score Knee function is assessed via a 10-item survey scored from 0-10 where higher scores means less limitation with activities and less symptoms. baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months post surgery
Primary Change in General physical activity questionnaire (GPAQ) Measured as Minutes of Total Physical Activity per day Higher score indicates higher physical activity. baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months post surgery
