Clinical Trial Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies how well a mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) intervention works in reducing anxiety in patients who have undergone treatment for gynecologic cancer but no longer have any sign of disease. Gynecologic cancer is cancer of the female reproductive tract, which includes the cervix, endometrium, fallopian tubes, ovaries, uterus, and vagina. Side effects from treatment for these cancers may include anxiety, fatigue, depression, and sexual function changes. Mindfulness training uses meditation and yoga to help patients focus on breathing, bodily sensations, and mental awareness. This may help decrease patients' stress and anxiety and improve their quality of life, and may also help their immune system.


Clinical Trial Description

Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 Arms.

ARM I (INTERVENTION): Patients undergo an 8-week MBSR course, comprising weekly 2.5 hour classes and one 6-hour Saturday class at week 6 or 7. The MBSR program involves instruction in mindfulness meditation and yoga, and gives homework assignments involving practicing the well-being techniques taught in class. Patients are required to record and report time spent on home practice in a journal daily, and receive a weekly reminder to report their home practice.

ARM II (WAIT-LIST CONTROL): Patients do not participate in the intervention, but are given the option to be placed on a waitlist for the MBSR course and may complete it within 6 months after the final study visit.

After completion of study, patients are followed up at 8 weeks (at completion of study) and 5 months (3 months from study completion). ;
