Summary

This trial will explore whether psychological conditions are common in young adults with hip pain, and if cognitive therapy can improve outcomes for these patients.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young adults aged 15-39 in Iowa with nonarthritic hip pain, specifically those diagnosed with conditions like labral tear or femoroacetabular impingement. Participants must understand written English and not be receiving treatment for other issues such as hip dislocation or avascular necrosis.
What is being tested?
The study tests if a cell phone-based cognitive therapy app (Pacifica) can help improve the mental health of young adults with hip pain. It compares outcomes between those using the app and a control group without this intervention.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves cognitive therapy through an app, there are no direct physical side effects; however, users may experience emotional discomfort or distress while addressing psychosocial issues.
