About this study

Official title: Decreasing Sedative Requirements for Peripheral Vascular Interventions Using Preoperative Guided Meditation

The primary purpose of this clinical trial is to test the feasibility of implementing a perioperative guided meditation program for patients undergoing peripheral vascular interventions that are performed under procedural sedation and analgesia.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, randomized, controlled study involving 30 adult patients undergoing peripheral vascular interventions. Patients will be randomized to two arms: an intervention arm where patients will participate in perioperative guided meditation, and a control arm where patients will receive standard of care without any meditation intervention.

Being tested
Meditation

Control GroupNo interventionStandard of care, which does not involve any meditation programs

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of Implementing Preoperative Guided Meditation

    Feasibility will be defined as >80% of the patients enrolled in the intervention arm having successfully completed both rounds of perioperative meditation.

    Measured: Immediately before surgery

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Anxiety - STAI-6

    The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) is a patient-reported measure of anxiety. The score range for the STAI-6 is from 6 to 24. Higher scores indicate higher anxiety, and thus are worse.

    Measured: Preoperative (prior to meditation)

  2. Interoceptive Attention - MAIA (Noticing Sub Scale)

    The Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA) is a patient-reported measure of interoceptive attention. Higher scores indicate higher interoception, and thus are better. This sub scale score represented the combined scores of the 4 questions in the noticing sub scale, and ranged from 0 to 20.

    Measured: Preoperative (prior to meditation)

  3. Anxiety - STAI-6

    The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) is a patient-reported measure of anxiety. The score range for the STAI-6 is from 6 to 24. Higher scores indicate higher anxiety, and thus are worse.

    Measured: Postoperative (within 6 hours after surgery)

  4. Interoceptive Attention - MAIA (Noticing Sub Scale)

    The Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA) is a patient-reported measure of interoceptive attention. Higher scores indicate higher interoception, and thus are better. This sub scale score represented the combined scores of the 4 questions in the noticing sub scale, and ranged from 0 to 20.

    Measured: Postoperative (within 6 hours after surgery)
