About this study

To evaluate the feasibility of a video based mindfulness intervention for stress reduction and to evaluate the cortisol response in persons with PD and their caregivers. The data from this project will be used for a future grant application of a stress reduction intervention in persons with PD.

Read the detailed description

Participants will be enrolled at the VA Portland and have a baseline assessment. The baseline will assess neurological disorders (including Parkinsonism) and current stress. All participants will attend 10 weeks of mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) through video feed on the Portland VA campus. During the week prior to the first class and the week after the last class, participants will complete questionnaires regarding stress, collect saliva samples, and, for the Parkinson's patient, monitor motor symptoms of PD using diaries and inertial sensors. A final visit will assess stress, neurological diseases, and Parkinsonism.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MindfulnessBehavioural

    Also called Mindfulness Based Stress REduction

    Mindfulness focuses on helping participants understand their personal reactions to stress, teaches skills that provide means to modify stress reactions, and promotes self-care and feelings of competence and mastery. In addition to weekly class sessions, participants are asked to do an hour of home practice the days that the class does not meet.
