Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to 1) determine whether Mindfulness Training for Primary Care (see study "MINDFUL-PC: Integrating Mindfulness Into the Patient-Centered Medical Home - A Pilot Study") engages self-regulation targets such as emotion regulation, attention, and interoceptive awareness; and 2) changes brain activation in neuroimaging tasks before compared to after the training. Neuroimaging fMRI tasks probe mechanisms related to self-regulation, such as attention/inhibition, emotion regulation, self-compassion, interoception and pain regulation. The study will also look at whether chronic disease self-management and successful engagement of self-report and behavioral self-regulation targets (emotion regulation, attention, and interoceptive awareness) relates to the observed brain activation changes after compared to before the mindfulness intervention.
Primary Outcome
Change in brain activation will be measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during four different tasks: an affective go/nogo regulation task, an interoceptive attention task, a self-compassion task and a pain regulation task. Brain activation will be compared between baseline and Week 8.
