Clinical Trial 22558

• Overview

  Study Title:

  Mind-Body practices for patients undergoing breast surgery: A pilot study (Mind Body Study (MBS)

  Summary:

  High patient reports of anxiety and distress underscore the need for interventions that alleviate distress, and this pilot study will allow us to deliver and evaluate two meditative techniques to determine whether significant modifications will need to be made to the intervention prior to future research. The current proposal aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of two video-guided meditative techniques in the perioperative period.

  Objective:

  Aim 1. Conduct a single-arm pilot study of a Mind-Body Intervention for breast cancer patients. Aim 2. Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the Mind-Body Intervention via established benchmarks and in-depth interviews; examine descriptive data on variables associated with stress, anxiety, and depression.
