About this study

The goal of this study is to examine whether a guided meditation intervention will reduce anxiety and distress as compared to a music intervention or radiologist supportive dialogue in women undergoing imaging-guided core needle breast biopsies. Both the guided meditation and music interventions are administered through use of headphones during routine outpatient imaging-guided core needle breast biopsies. Women in the guided meditation and music conditions will be given a CD with instructions for home practice. Women complete follow-up questionnaires in the 12 months after biopsy. Receipt of recommended follow-up care is examined for 60 months.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Anxiety

    Anxiety is measured using the State Anxiety Scale of the State Trait Anxiety Inventory. Women complete this self-report measure at baseline (i.e., immediately prior to biopsy in the biopsy clinic) and immediately post-biopsy. Change in anxiety will be measured as change from baseline to post biopsy (i.e., post biopsy anxiety - baseline anxiety.) The expected duration from baseline to post biopsy assessment is expected to be an average of 1.5 hours.

    Measured: Change in anxiety from baseline (i.e., pre biopsy) assessment to post biopsy assessment will be examined. Participants will be followed for the duration of the biopsy, with an expected average of 1.5 hours between assessments.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Rates of adherence to recommended follow-up care

    Adherence to recommended mammography and clinical breast exam will be assessed for 60 months following biopsy. Adherence (i.e., repeated on schedule mammograms; repeated on schedule clinical breast exams) at 60 months post biopsy will be compared across study arms.

    Measured: 60 months following biopsy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Guided Meditation, Music and Supportive Dialogue in people with Imaging Guided Breast Biopsy, run by Duke University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Anxiety (time frame: Change in anxiety from baseline (i.e., pre biopsy) assessment to post biopsy assessment will be examined. Participants will be followed for the duration of the biopsy, with an expected average of 1.5 hours between assessments.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
