About
To evaluate the feasibility of a video based mindfulness intervention for stress reduction and to evaluate the cortisol response in persons with PD and their caregivers. The data from this project will be used for a future grant application of a stress reduction intervention in persons with PD.
Full description
Participants will be enrolled at the VA Portland and have a baseline assessment. The baseline will assess neurological disorders (including Parkinsonism) and current stress. All participants will attend 10 weeks of mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) through video feed on the Portland VA campus. During the week prior to the first class and the week after the last class, participants will complete questionnaires regarding stress, collect saliva samples, and, for the Parkinson's patient, monitor motor symptoms of PD using diaries and inertial sensors. A final visit will assess stress, neurological diseases, and Parkinsonism.
