Official title
A Pilot Study of Big Mind for Veterans With PTSD
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
A variety of mindfulness-based interventions, such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy have been shown to be beneficial for individuals experiencing mood and anxiety symptoms. The aim of this pilot study is to test the feasibility of using a similar intervention, known as Big Mind, for veterans with PTSD and other psychological symptoms. Big Mind is a method of self-exploration that utilizes a voice dialog technique to help individuals see the world and themselves from a variety of perspectives. The investigators hypothesize that this process will increase mindfulness and decrease self-referential thinking, which is associated with negative affect. To test the feasibility of using this method, veterans with PTSD will complete a four-week group Big Mind class with a total of four sessions. The investigators will use a single group design with pre and post-intervention measures to assess tolerability and acceptance of the intervention. Secondary outcome measures will evaluate symptom improvement and increased mindfulness. If this project demonstrates that using this intervention for veterans with PTSD is feasible, then more rigorous clinical trials will be warranted.
