Clinical Trial Summary

The study tests whether contemplative-based intervention can modify pathogenic processes in participants with Lupus. Techniques such as meditation, mindfulness and yoga may have an impact on the disease and may decrease psychological distress, increase self-regulation capabilities, and reduce pain. Additionally, incorporating patients' caregivers may strengthen their relationships and, thereby, improve their health and well-being.


Clinical Trial Description

The objective of this pilot study is to test the feasibility of an innovative contemplative-based and caregiver-inclusive intervention can modify pathogenic processes in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Contemplative techniques such as meditation, mindfulness and yoga may have an impact on the disease burden and may decrease psychological distress, increase self-regulation capabilities, and reduce pain. Research also suggests that contemplative practices, such as an intensive mindfulness intervention, may have a direct effect on the underlying disease process itself by altering epigenetic control of gene expression, decreasing proinflammatory cytokine production and reestablishing immunologic homeostasis. It is also well documented that social relationships moderate physical health. Incorporating patients' caregivers may strengthen their relationships and thereby improve their health and well-being. It is anticipated that the successful outcome of the intervention described in this proposal will provide the basis for a new and effective contemplative-based and caregiver-inclusive therapy for SLE and other rheumatic diseases. ;
