No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to establish the feasibility and acceptability of a breath-based meditation in stroke survivors with post-stroke depression (PSD) and their informal caregivers, as well as to examine the effects of the breath-based meditation. The hypothesis is that the breath-based meditation will lead to decreases in the severity of symptoms of PSD, post-stroke anxiety (PSA), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and decreases in plasma IL-1 pro-inflammatory cytokines post-intervention in stroke survivors with PSD and their informal caregivers.
