NCT05911412

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study designed a randomized clinical trial is to determine the efficacy of an 8-week mindfulness-based cognitive therapy using neuroscience (NMBCT) to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms among adult participants with anxiety and depression. The primary object is to assess the effectiveness of NMBCT to change in the structural or functional brain. A secondary objective is to reduce clinical symptom severity.

Study Arms (2)

NMBCT intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in this arm enter the 8-week NMBCT course immediately after the baseline visit.

Behavioral: Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy using neuroscience (NMBCT)

Waitlist

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in the waitlist control arm will wait for 8 weeks after the baseline visit, and then will be offered an identical 8-week NMBCT course.

Behavioral: Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy using neuroscience (NMBCT)

Interventions

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy using neuroscience (NMBCT) is a standardized 8-week course taught by trained instructors. The NMBCT is a group therapy that takes place once a week for about 90 minutes per session. The program consists of mental education for each session, 2-3 mindfulness meditation practice, mindfulness practice in daily life, and about 30 minutes of daily home mindfulness meditation task. While participating in the program, the subjects will receive psychoeducation and various mindfulness meditation techniques (eating meditation, breathing meditation, sedentary meditation, viewing meditation, and listening meditation, etc.).
