The HEART Trial: Support for Orthopedic Trauma Recovery

The HEART Trial is studying whether extra support, called Comprehensive Trauma Recovery Programming (C-TRP), helps patients who have experienced moderate to severe orthopedic trauma. C-TRP includes coaching, peer support, education, and resources, starting in the hospital and continuing through recovery. This is compared to the usual care you would receive. The study is looking to see if C-TRP can reduce anxiety in patients, measured at about 5-7 weeks and 12-14 weeks after joining. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, expect to be in the hospital for more than 72 hours, and need surgery for your orthopedic injuries. The study aims to enroll 804 participants, but its current status is unclear.
