Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The current study will examine the effects of a brief mindfulness based intervention (BMBI) on mood, memory and attention in comparison to a wait-list control (WLC) group. Participants for the study will be 90 adults aged 50 years and above who have presented at a memory clinic within SLaM NHS Trust with subjective cognitive concerns and/or those who have received a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from their memory clinic.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants will be randomly assigned to either the BMBI group or the WLC group. Those assigned to the BMBI group will complete a number of cognitive assessments and questionnaires at Time 1. They will then receive a 45 minute mindfulness intervention. Following this, they will be asked to practice mindfulness for 30 minutes per day for 7 days a week in their own homes. After 7 days, participants in the BMBI group will be invited to complete a paired set of cognitive assessments and questionnaires (Time 2). Participants in the WLC group will complete the same number of cognitive assessments and questionnaires as the BMBI group at Time 1. However, they will not receive the 45 minute mindfulness intervention nor will they be asked to practice it at home for 7 days. After 7 days, participants in the WLC group will be invited to complete a paired set of cognitive assessments and questionnaires (Time 2). After completion of the measures at Time 2, the WLC participants will then receive the 45 minute mindfulness intervention. All assessments, questionnaires and the intervention will be carried out either in a SLaM memory clinic or at participants own homes depending on level of mobility.

Brief Mindfulness

45 minute brief mindfulness intervention (lead by study investigator) on day 1 followed by 7 days of 30 minute mindfulness practice at home (without study investigator)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Brief Mindfulness

Intervention Type OTHER

15 minutes psycho-education about mindfulness and a small experiential exercise using a raisin. Following this, participants listen to a 30minute pre-recorded sitting meditation which encourages them to focus on their breath and the sounds around them. Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive the brief mindfulness intervention immediately or will be asked to wait one week before receiving the intervention.
