Virtual Patient Groups for Sarcoidosis Associated Fatigue

This study is looking at whether a program called Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) can help people with sarcoidosis (a disease that causes inflammation in organs) feel less tired. It also wants to see if MBSR can improve feelings of anxiety and depression. You would need to have a sarcoidosis diagnosis and significant fatigue to join. The study will compare MBSR to a virtual sarcoidosis support group. Researchers will measure your fatigue, anxiety, and depression levels over 5 months to see which approach is more helpful. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status and aims to enroll 100 people.

Study design
This is an interventional study where participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: a virtual Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program or a virtual sarcoidosis support group. The study plans to enroll 100 participants.
What's involved
If you join, you would either attend weekly online MBSR sessions for 8 weeks and keep a daily mindfulness journal, or join a virtual support group once a month for 5 months. Both groups will complete surveys about fatigue, anxiety, and depression.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed from enrollment to the end of the study period at 5 months.
