Virtual Reality Mindfulness Meditation After ACL Reconstruction
This study is looking at whether virtual reality mindfulness meditation can help women aged 14-25 who have had an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injury. The goal is to see if this type of meditation can reduce fear related to their injury, improve how they land after jumping, and change brain activity. You would be in one of two groups: one doing virtual reality mindfulness meditation or another doing a virtual reality sham (a fake treatment, like relaxing in a virtual beach scene). Both groups will also participate in an advanced rehabilitation training program. Researchers will measure these effects over 8 weeks. The study is currently unclear on its status and plans to enroll 48 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with 48 planned participants. It compares virtual reality mindfulness meditation to a virtual reality sham.
- What's involved
- Participants will complete their assigned virtual reality intervention 3 times a week over 8 weeks, along with an advanced rehabilitation training program.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for 8 weeks after starting the intervention.

What this trial measures
- Percentage of participants who were eligible and enrolled in the studyThrough study completion, a total of approximately 3 years.
Feasibility of the Virtual Reality and Advanced Neuromuscular Training Rehabilitation Program will be assessed through established recruitment for patients post-ACLR. Recruitment is defined as the percentage of participants who were eligible and enrolled in the study.
- Percentage of participants retained in the studyThrough study completion, a total of approximately 8-weeks
Feasibility of Virtual Reality and Advanced Neuromuscular Training Rehabilitation Program will be assessed to determine participant retention. Retention is defined as the percentage of participants enrolled and who have completed all study measures through 8-weeks.
- Mean Acceptability Survey ScoreCollected post-treatment after completion of the intervention/sham at week 8
Feasibility of Virtual Reality and Advanced Neuromuscular Training Rehabilitation Program will be assessed via an acceptability survey during the final assessment post-treatment at week 8. Mean score greater than 8 will be interpreted as high acceptability.
- Change in Injury-related fear as measured by the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia-11Collected at baseline and post-treatment after completion of the intervention/sham at week 8
The Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia-11 is a patient-reported outcome measure that assesses fear of movement and/or reinjury. This is an 11-item questionnaire that is valid. Scores range from 11 to 44, with higher scores indicating elevated fear.
