“Effectiveness of mindfulness-based online therapy or internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy compared with treatment as usual among patients with persistent somatic symptoms: Protocol for a randomized controlled trial”
Don’t miss our latest study protocol by Vangelova-Korpinen et al. which has been published recently in the PLOS One Journal.
This study protocol investigates the effect of the following two online interventions:
- a mindfulness-based amygdala and insula retraining (AIR) program and
- ACT-based internet therapy (HUS iCBTpss)
The aim of this study is to explore the effect of the AIR program and the HUS iCBTpss on the patients’ self-assessment of functional ability and quality of life as compared to treatment as usual (TAU).
This study performed a randomized controlled trial with 360 patients. Consenting patients has been randomized to three study arms: online AIR program, HUS iCBTpss (both interventions as add-ons to TAU); and TAU. Functional ability and quality of life surveys were collected from participants at baseline and at 3, 6, and 12 months after entering the study.
