Wellness Interventions After Transplant Study
Completed · Phase 3
Conditions studied: Organ Transplant
In brief
The Wellness Interventions after Transplant (WIAT) Trial has reached its enrollment target. This trial is no longer recruiting new patients. Those currently enrolled will be followed for a year to evaluate trial outcomes. The purpose of this trial is to determine if training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction can reduce symptom distress and improve quality of life in solid organ transplant recipients. Primary study outcomes are depression, anxiety and insomnia symptoms, measured by well-validated self-report scales. The impact of this program on objectively measured sleep outcomes, use of health care resources and costs will also be evaluated.
