Testing the Efficacy of Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction as a Prophylactic Intervention in the Prevention of Perimenopausal Depression: a Randomized Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Mindfulness-based stress reduction for Perimenopausal Depression and Depressive Symptoms. Completed, enrolled 104 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide and a risk factor for other diseases. While women are at elevated risk for depression in general, the menopause transition is a particularly vulnerable time for many women, with the risk for depression increasing 2-4 fold. The objective of this research study is to determine whether mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), an 8-week structured intervention involving meditation and yoga, has any beneficial mood effects for women undergoing this vulnerable time.
