This trial tries to find and treat depression in people who have recently had surgery for an arm, leg, or pelvis fracture. It may help by screening for depression soon after surgery and offering a new depression treatment approach if you qualify.

This trial tests a personalized approach to treating major depressive disorder using assessments and brain imaging to match you with the best therapy. It aims to improve outcomes by tailoring care to your specific needs.
This trial studies whether a type of antidepressant medicine (a serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor) can prevent depression after a lower-extremity fragility fracture that was treated with surgery. It’s mainly for older adults, and aims to see if starting this medicine early reduces later depression symptoms.
This study tests whether giving the antidepressant fluoxetine (Prozac) right after a traumatic injury can help improve mental and physical recovery. It is for people who have broken bones or internal injuries from an accident and may be feeling down.
This trial tests whether meeting with a social worker during your regular fracture clinic visits helps your recovery. If you had surgery for a broken arm or leg in the last 12 weeks, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a short mindfulness program for adults with arm, leg, or other limb fractures requiring surgery. The goal is to see if it helps manage pain and anxiety and reduce reliance on opioids after surgery.
