Moving Mindfully: A MBSR-Centered Approach to Freezing in Parkinson Disease - Randomized Control Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Mindfulness Based Walking Therapy (MBWT) and Freezing of Gait (FOG) Education for Parkinson Disease and Mindfulness. Completed, enrolled 24 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators will conduct an randomized controlled trial (RCT) among people with Parkinson disease (PD) and freezing of gait (FOG) to evaluate the feasibility of a mindfulness intervention compared to a educational program about FOG. FOG is a severe motor disturbance that prevents people from stepping normally and is associated with anxiety, frustration, sedentary behaviors, poorer quality of life, and falls. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an evidence-based practice that creates a culture to reduce stress and anxiety by increasing conscious awareness and self-compassion. In this study, the investigators will develop a mindfulness-based walking intervention to address both mental health and mobility challenges that constitute FOG.

Timeline
Interventions
MBWT is a modified version of the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program that incorporates more walking mediations and is acceptable for people with Parkinson disease and freezing of gait.
Participants will receive materials to read weekly about FOG and track their usual care regimens.
