Summary

The study tests whether contemplative-based intervention can modify pathogenic processes in participants with Lupus. Techniques such as meditation, mindfulness and yoga may have an impact on the disease and may decrease psychological distress, increase self-regulation capabilities, and reduce pain. Additionally, incorporating patients' caregivers may strengthen their relationships and, thereby, improve their health and well-being.
