Interventions

  • Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) — BEHAVIORAL
    MBSR consists of teaching meditation practices through breath and body awareness, awareness of movement through Yoga postures, and psychoeducation on stress reduction. The course will be offered online through video conferencing and will consist of a 30-minute intake visit, 8 weekly 2.5-hour sessions, and a 7-hour retreat.

Study Details

The goal of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) on interoception (your understanding of your body's internal senses), emotional well-being, and whole person health. A total of 30 people with chronic stroke will be enrolled in this study to participate in an MBSR course, consisting of a 30-minute intake visit, 8 sessions lasting 2.5 hours plus a 1-day 7-hour retreat. Participants will be randomized into either the first MBSR course (immediate start) or the second MBSR course (delayed start/waitlist control).
