Clinical Trial Summary

The proposed project is the first pilot test to examine interoceptive function as a mechanistic biomarker underlying Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT). MABT, an empirically-validated and manualized protocol is explicitly designed to teach interoceptive awareness skills for emotion regulation and is thus an ideal intervention approach in which to address this gap in research. This study uses a two group, randomized design to examine neural and physiological biomarkers in response to MABT. Twenty-four individuals reporting moderate stress will be recruited from the community and randomized to 8-week MABT intervention or the control condition. The study aims are to: 1) evaluate whether interoceptive training improves interoceptive function in the MABT vs control condition, and 2) explore whether changes in interoceptive function correlate with improved health outcomes. Analyses will include within and between-group ANOVA of brain activity with symptom change as a covariate. This is the first study to test whether a clinical intervention aimed specifically at cultivating interoceptive awareness effects change on interoceptive biomarkers. The results will support larger NIH proposals to more comprehensively validate neuro and behavioral biomarkers of interoceptive training to enhance mental health, particularly targeting depression and substance use disorder that have identified interoceptive dysfunction and poor emotion regulation.
