Filter by:This study hopes to: explore whether offline and online mindfulness interventions can significantly alleviate individual emotional distress and improve cognitive flexibility level. explore whether cognitive flexibility is a mediator in mindfulness intervention to alleviate emotional distress, and to meet the principles of mechanism.
Traditional offline interventions such as MBCT and MBSR have been implemented to treat patients with emotional disorders and obtained significantly improved clinical outcomes. However, these offline interventions require the involvement of a therapist expert in mindfulness and usually charge a high fee, which may not be accessible and cost-effective for lots of patients with psychological disorders. Fortunately, online self-help interventions can compensate for these disadvantages. Our research team has developed a self-help online mindfulness program targeting emotional distress (i.e., iMIED), which has been effective for individuals with emotional distress in a preliminary study. Since patients with emotional disorders usually suffer from emotional distress, the current study will apply this program to these patients, and investigate its auxiliary effects on patients' psychological and physical health. The primary aim of the current study is to evaluate the effectiveness of iMIED for patients with emotional disorders. To do so, we will use a design in which patients who receive online mindfulness training (iMIED) except for treatment as usual (TAU) will be compared with patients who receive TAU alone. We expect the intervention to improve patients' psychopathological symptoms reported by the patients and the clinicians or the research team and increase their overall functioning, positive mental health, and physical health compared to TAU. In addition, previous studies have shown that mindfulness interventions improve psychological symptoms by improving cognitive flexibility. Therefore, the secondary aim of the study is to examine the mediating effect of cognitive flexibility on the relationships between mindfulness practice and improvements in outcome variables, and further explore the mechanism behind it.
This clinical trial seeks to uncover the mechanisms behind the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions in reducing emotional distress. Using daily diaries to measure both mediating and outcome variables, the study examines whether these mechanisms precede changes in outcomes. It focuses on the Mindfulness Intervention for Emotional Distress program, which includes four strategies. The current study plans to employ a within-subjects design with daily questionnaires over 63 days, before, during and after the intervention. The aim is to gain insights into how mindfulness interventions work in alleviating emotional distress.
This study hopes to: 1. explore whether three weeks of MIED could promote experiential avoidance. 2. explore experiential avoidance could be a mediation of outcomes of MIED.
This study hopes to: 1. explore whether offline and online mindfulness interventions can significantly alleviate individual emotional distress,experiential avoidance and improve cognitive flexibility,distress tolerance level. 2. explore whether cognitive flexibility, distress tolerance and experiential avoidance are the mediators in mindfulness intervention to alleviate emotional distress, and to meet the principles of mechanism.

The purpose of this study is to pilot a psychosocial skills-based intervention for caregivers of patients with severe acute brain injuries. The data the investigators gather in this study will be used to further refine our COMA-F intervention.
The primary goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the unique neural and behavioral effects of a one-session training combining emotion regulation skills training, with excitatory repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC). The secondary aim is to identify key changes in the emotion regulation neural network following the combined intervention versus each of the components alone. The third aim is to explore personalized biomarkers for response to emotion regulation training. Participants will undergo brain imaging while engaging in an emotional regulation task. Participants will be randomly assigned to learn one of two emotion regulation skills. Participants will be reminded of recent stressors and will undergo different types of neurostimulation, targeted using fMRI (functional MRI) results. Participants who may practice their emotion regulation skills during neurostimulation in a one-time session. Following this training, participants will undergo another fMRI and an exit interview to assess for immediate neural and behavioral changes. Measures of emotion regulation will be assessed at a one week and a one month follow up visit.
