MIND Trial Summary

This trial will test whether different interventions can change the neural networks associated with attentional control and interoceptive awareness in people who have dissociative symptoms from trauma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people who feel disconnected from themselves (dissociation) after a traumatic event and score at least 7 on the MDI depersonalization scale. Participants must have experienced significant trauma as defined by DSM-5 criteria and be willing to join the study. Those with severe substance dependence, active psychosis, or serious cognitive issues cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if focusing on breathing without distractions or using vibration can influence brain networks related to attention control and body awareness in traumatized individuals with dissociative symptoms. It's conducted at Emory University and University of Pittsburgh.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not explicitly mentioned but may include discomfort due to focus exercises or vibrations, emotional distress from recalling traumatic events during assessments, or fatigue from participation.
