Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Mental disorders are among the most common causes of disability globally. Given the high prevalence of mental disorders (57.0%) in Azores islands (Portugal), local primary health care (PHC) services should encourage the implementation of complementary interventions for prevention of this type of disorders. New approaches, such as mind-body therapies, have been studied and recommended for prevention and treatment of numerous chronic diseases, particularly mental disorders.

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a 6-months mind-body therapies (yoga, qigong and pilates), in users of Ponta Delgada Health Center (PDHC) with perceived distress, compared to a waiting list control.

Clinical Trial Description

VIVE mind will be a pragmatic, single-center, randomized controlled trial.

Users of PDHC with perceived distress (PSS-10), aged 18 years or over, will be recruited and randomly assigned into experimental and waiting list control group, in a 1:1 ratio. The recruitment of participants will be held in PDHC by health professional (e.g., family medicine doctors, nurses, nutritionists, psychologists, etc). After signed informed consent and baseline measures, experimental group will participate in body-mind sessions (yoga, qigong or pilates), oriented by certified instructors, during 6-months. Each participant should attend only one of the therapies, in order to guarantee a differentiated evaluation. In every session, it will be evaluated the participants' adherence and theirs perceived enjoyment and exertion. The other outcomes (primary and secondary) will be analyzed through a face-to-face contact, in three different moments: baseline (T0), post-intervention (at month 6, T1) and 6-month follow-up (at month 12, T2). The control group will not participate in any specific intervention, but will receive the body-mind intervention after the experimental period. An intention-to-treat and per protocol analysis will be performed to analyze intervention effectiveness and efficacy. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
