Stress Clinical Trial
Official title:
Psychological and Neurobiological Impact of a Retreat Based on Mindfulness and Compassion for Stress Reduction.
The study is aimed at comparing the differential effects of two widely used standardized meditation programs: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) delivered in a retreat format with a cross-over design in a general population sample of healthy adults.
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of two mindfulness-based intensive interventions: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) training or Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT), on psychological, physiological and epigenetic changes in a population of health volunteer adults. During a 7-day retreat participants will be randomised to two study arms: group 1 and 2, beginning either with a 3-day MBSR training or a 3-day CCT training. On the 4th day they will cross-over to the opposite intervention. To address this goal, the effects will be measured by self-report questionnaires belonging to different domains (mindfulness, compassion, well-being, psychological distress, and psychological functioning), psychophysiological measures (EEG resting state, Diurnal cortisol slope, EKG and respiration patterns), epigenetic changes (DNA methylation biomarkers) and an objective stress task (Arithmetic Stress Test). Psychobiological outcome measures will be collected from both groups on day 1 (pre-intervention), on day 4 (post intervention and before beginning of the second intervention). The third assessment will be conducted on day 7 for both groups (post-second intervention). A 6-month follow-up assessment will be carried in both groups only for psychological questionnaires. Data analysis will include change scores in psychological outcome measures as well as DNA methylation (by EPIC arrays) and gene expression (RNA-seq) measures. ;
