NCT ID: NCT03058952 Completed - Depression Clinical Trials

Groups for Regaining Our Wellbeing

GROW
Start date: August 8, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is a randomized clinical trial measuring outcomes up to 6-months post-intervention. The objective of this study is to evaluate outcomes of two different group interventions for Veterans with Chronic Multisymptom Illness (CMI). The interventions to be compared are Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and an adapted version of the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (aCDSMP) for Veterans experiencing symptoms of Chronic Multi-Symptom Illness (CMI) - musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and cognitive failures - especially those who were deployed to Gulf War I. Hypothesis One (re: Outcomes): Participants randomized to the adapted Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (aCDSMP) will derive benefit for the primary outcomes, but with smaller effects than the participants randomized to Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). The investigators hypothesize that Veterans randomized to MBSR will report greater reductions in each of the three primary outcome measures (pain, fatigue, and cognitive failures) at 6-month follow-up as compared to aCDSMP. Hypothesis Two (re: Acceptability): MBSR will be an acceptable and satisfactory program for Veterans with CMI, as measured by attendance rates, a self-report measure of satisfaction, and qualitative interviews. The investigators hypothesize that Veterans with CMI randomized to MBSR will report greater satisfaction with care than their peers randomized to aCDSMP.
