Official title
Mind Body Intervention for Long COVID
Overview
The goal of this study is to determine if a mind-body intervention can help people suffering from symptoms associated with Long COVID. The study is a randomized trial examining the effectiveness of a mind body intervention in reducing somatic symptoms from Long COVID in participants as compared to usual care and an active control (second mind body intervention). The investigators will secondarily investigate whether the intervention alleviates individual somatic complaints and improves daily functioning, relative to usual care and the active control
Interventions
- Behavioral Mind Body Intervention #1
The mind-body intervention will include regular 1 to 2 hour educational sessions and lectures, as well as supplemental reading material. In addition, individualized sessions will be offered each week for students who have additional questions and/or need additional time with the material.
Primary outcome measures
- Somatic Symptom Score-8 (SSS-8) [Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 13 weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (8)
- Short Form Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) [Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 13 weeks]
- Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) [Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 13 weeks]
- The Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile (MDP) [Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 13 weeks]
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder form 7 (GAD-7) [Time frame: Baseline and 13 weeks]
- Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System survey for function disability (PROMIS) [Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 13 weeks]
- End of study measurements [Time frame: 13 weeks]
- Pain Anxiety Symptom Score-20 (Pass-20) [Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 13 weeks]
- Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Survey for Cognitive Function (PROMIS SF v2.0 cognitive function 8a) [Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 13 weeks]
