Effects of Mindfulness Meditation in Virtual Reality on Craving and Smoking Cessation
Investigators seek to propose a non-drug therapeutic alternative, namely a mindfulness meditation protocol based on virtual reality training in order to induce progressive modifications of various indicators of craving. The study hypothesis is that the practice of mindfulness meditation in a virtual reality environment reduces the craving induced by cues and stress and therefore ultimately smoking relapse. The main objective of the protocol will be to demonstrate that mindfulness meditation can reduce long-term relapse (continuous cessation (> 30 days) of smoking cessation). The participants will be randomized into two groups: the experimental group will perform six virtual reality sessions in a multisensory cabin at the rate of one session per week; the control group will be prescribed the gold standard treatment (nicotine patches and chewing gum). Participants will be seen again at three and six months to assess whether or not there has been a smoking relapse.

Standardized Yoga & Meditation Program for Stress Reduction for Adolescents With Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is the most common cause of recurrent abdominal pain in children. IBS is a functional gastrointestinal disorder that is linked to motor and sensory physiology, as well as the central nervous system, that presents as abdominal pain with abnormal defecation patterns. This discomfort leads to emotional stress, decreased quality of life, and anxiety. The study proposes that yoga and mindfulness will decrease anxiety and increase quality of life for patients with IBS. The aim of this study is to measure the impact of a brief, at-home, 6-week twice per week Standardized Yoga & Meditation Program for Stress Reduction program on anxiety, IBS symptoms, and quality of life in children ages 12-21 diagnosed with IBS.

Impact of Meditation on Improving Quality of Life Among Glaucoma Patients: An Electronic Pilot Feasibility Study
Glaucoma is a chronic disease that causes loss of vision and potentially blindness as a result of optic nerve damage due to increased intraocular pressure. Currently, it is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide1. In 2020, 4.1 million and 3.6 million adults over the age of 50 suffered from mild to severe visual impairment and blindness respectively induced by glaucoma1. However, these predictions are likely underestimated since glaucoma can remain asymptomatic until later stages in disease progression2. There is a convincing body of evidence suggesting that there is a linear relationship between visual impairment and decreased quality of life (QOL) among glaucoma patients3. Furthermore, evidence from The National Health and Aging Trends Study suggests that this relationship may be bidirectional where older adults with visual impairment are more likely to suffer from mental illness and older adults with mental illness are more likely to suffer from visual impairment4. Mindfulness-based meditation is a promising non-pharmacological treatment that has been shown to reduce intraocular pressure and improve QOL in patients with glaucoma5. A feasibility study will be conducted using a mixed-method design to assess the feasibility of delivering a meditation intervention online to enhance the QOL and mental health of glaucoma patients. Participants will be recruited and randomized in blocks of 10 and will undergo 1:1 randomization to the intervention arm or usual care arm. The purpose of this block randomization technique is to minimize the wait time between patient recruitment and study initiation. Participants in each arm will complete online questionnaires at patient recruitment, weeks 1, 3, 6, and 12 to measure self-reported health, depression symptoms, anxiety, and sleep quality using REDCap, an electronic data capturing system provided by Lawson Health Research Institute (LHRI).

Transcendental Meditation in Veterans and First Responders With PTSD
The present study is part of a Phase 3 multi-site clinical trial that will recruit veterans and first responders diagnosed with PTSD, where they will be randomized to receive either Transcendental Meditation (TM) or Present Centered Therapy (PCT). Five assessments will be conducted, at: 1) baseline, 2) midpoint, 3) posttreatment, 4) three months posttreatment and 5) six months posttreatment. All assessments will be completed using remote HIPAA-compliant videoconferencing. The study protocol at NYSPI/Columbia will also include Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) before and after treatment to elucidate neural predictors and mechanisms of these two treatment approaches. Enrollment will include veterans and first responders with PTSD. Both TM and PCT will be provided by trained staff receiving weekly supervision. This trial is funded by the David Lynch Foundation and will recruit approximately 360 veterans and first responders over a three-year period.
