Clinical Trials

Bipolar Disorder - Mindfulness Training Study

Effectiveness of Mindfulness Training on Sustained Attention in Patients with Bipolar Disorder

Protocol ID

10-013B

Protocol Description

The overall aim of this study is to see whether or not mindfulness training helps aspects of memory in people with bipolar disorder.  Mindfulness training is a type of meditation (way of thinking) in which an individual focuses on the present moment, including their thoughts and emotions.  Mindfulness meditation has been shown to improve certain areas of memory in individuals without a psychiatric diagnosis; however, little is known about the effect of mindfulness training on those with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder.
