About this trial

Psychosocial conditions are common in young adults with hip pain including depression, anxiety, pain catastrophizing, and narcotic use. The incidence of these conditions is not well defined. Interventions to optimize psychosocial conditions with non-surgical or surgical treatments has not been investigated. The goal of this project is to determine the incidence of psychosocial conditions in the young adult population with hip pain and determine if cognitive based therapy can improve clinical outcomes in these individuals.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Changes in level of Depression (DASS-21)

Assessed using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) electronically administered patient reported outcome questionnaire * General adult population average total score: 9.43 (standard deviation (SD) 9.66), out of a total possible score of 63 points, * Indication of significant difference from normative data: Average score \>1 SD above the General adult population average total score * General adult population average depression sub scale score: 2.83 (SD 3.87) * Values above 9.03 points in the depression subsection score correlate with clinical depression and generalized anxiety disorders * A change of 3.86 or more points in the depression subscore reliably represents clinical improvement.

Time frame
8 weeks

Changes in level of Depression (PROMIS)

Assessed using the Patient Reported Outcome Measures Information (PROMIS): Depression. An electronically administered patient reported outcome questionnaire * Normative T-score generated from US adult population data: mean 50 (SD 10). * For this study, an average T-score \<40 would be considered significantly different compared to normative values. * The minimally important difference (MID) of 3.0-3.1 calculated from research in nonoperative treatment of knee osteoarthritis will be representative of clinical improvement at eight weeks.

Changes in level of Anxiety (DASS-21)

Assessed using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) electronically administered patient reported outcome questionnaire * General adult population average total score: 9.43 (SD 9.66) * An average total score \>1 SD above the mean would be considered significantly different from normative data * General adult population average anxiety subscale scores: 1.88±2.95 * Average anxiety subsection score above 6.27 correlate with clinical depression and generalized anxiety disorders * A change of 3.85 or more points in the anxiety subscore reliably represents clinical improvement.
