Trial Outcomes & Findings for Piloting Mindfulness Meditation Program for Underserved Racial Minority Adults With Pulmonary Hypertension (NCT NCT05387889)

NCT ID: NCT05387889

Last Updated: 2023-11-08

Results Overview

Patient Health Questionnaire-9 is a validated, self-reported questionnaire assessing depressive symptoms over the past few weeks. Possible scores range from 0 to 27, indicating the levels of depression (0-4 = None or Minimal; 5-9 = Mild; 10-14 = Moderate; 15-19 = Moderately Severe; 20- 27 = Severe). Depressive symptoms comparison between Group 1 and Group 2 at the end of the intervention (Week #8). Depressive symptoms comparison at Baseline vs. Week #8 within Group 1 participants who received the intervention. Depressive symptoms comparison at Baseline vs. Week #8 within Group 2 participants who received the intervention.

Measure
Treatment Arm - Group 1
This treatment Arm will receive MMPH intervention first, while the wait-listed group waits until this group is complete. Then the wait-listed group will receive the same intervention after the first group completes it. Mindfulness Meditation for Pulmonary Hypertension (MMPH): Eight weeks of Mindfulness Meditation practice for patients with Pulmonary Hypertension condition. The content will focus on how to apply Mindfulness concepts to the everyday management of symptoms and stress.
Comparison Arm or Waited List Arm - Group 2
This active comparator Arm will not receive MMPH intervention at the beginning. They will receive the intervention once the Treatment Group completed the intervention.

Timeframe: Baseline and at the end of the study intervention (Week #8)

Population: For this analysis, 9 patients were analyzed for Arm 1, and 6 patients were analyzed for Arm 2.

EmPHasis-10 (full name, not an abbreviation) is a validated, self-reported standardized questionnaire assessing PH-related quality of life over the past few weeks. The EmPHasis-10 questionnaire is used during clinical assessments to determine how pulmonary hypertension affects someone's life. Possible scores range from 0 to 50, (0 = high quality of life; 50 = poor quality of life) Change = (Week #8 Score - Baseline Score) Health-related quality of life comparison between Group 1 and Group 2 at the end of the intervention (Week #8). Health-related quality of life comparison at Baseline vs. Week #8 within Group 1 participants who received the intervention. Health-related quality of life comparison at Baseline vs. Week #8 within Group 2 participants who received the intervention.
