What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of a mobile app called B3RIGHT designed to help people with borderline personality disorder manage emotional crises. This pragmatic randomized controlled trial includes 80 patients, comparing standard treatment alone to standard treatment combined with the mobile app. The study aims to better understand how this technology may assist in crisis management for individuals with this condition. Participants will be divided into two groups: one receiving treatment as usual, which includes weekly group psychotherapy and bimonthly individual psychotherapy, and the other receiving the same treatment plus access to the B3RIGHT mobile app for crisis intervention. The study is conducted in an outpatient setting. Participants are randomly assigned to either group to fairly assess the app's impact when added to standard care. During the 9-month study period, researchers will monitor the number of psychiatric emergencies and hospitalizations as primary outcomes. They will also assess smartphone addiction levels. Participants will be regularly evaluated to track their progress and the safety of using the app alongside their usual therapy. The total participation duration covers the treatment and follow-up needed to capture these outcomes.
