Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Background & Aims: Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is associated with psychosocial comorbidity and often triggered by stress. The current disease-centered model of care does not address psychosocial factors that impact patient outcomes. The investigators hypothesized that a holistic, patient-centered care model integrating meditation and addressing psychosocial needs through a care coordinator, will improve healthcare outcomes in CVS.
Methods: The investigators conducted a prospective randomized controlled trial of 49 patients with CVS (mean age: 34 ± 14 years; 81% female) who were randomized to conventional healthcare (control group) or Integrative Health Care (IHC) (27: control group, 22: IHC group;). In the IHC group, patients were assigned a care coordinator and received meditation sessions from certified trainers from the Heartfulness Institute. Outcomes including psychological distress, coping strategies to manage chronic stress, cognitive symptom management, and Health-Related Quality of Life were measured with validated tools. An intention-to-treat analysis was performed.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Levels of psychological distress is measured using a validated questionnaire called the Basic Symptom Inventory
Time Frame: 6 months
|
Basic symptom inventory The Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) consists of 53 items covering nine symptom dimensions: Somatization, Obsession-Compulsion, Interpersonal Sensitivity, Depression, Anxiety, Hostility, Phobic anxiety, Paranoid ideation and Psychoticism; and three global indices of distress: Global Severity Index, Positive Symptom Distress Index, and Positive Symptom Total.
The global indices measure current or past level of symptomatology, intensity of symptoms, and number of reported symptoms, respectively.

Mutiple domains of coping will be measured by the COPE questionanire which is a validated tool
Time Frame: 6 months
|
COPE questionanire: The COPE questionnaire consists of the following.
Five scales (of four items each) measure conceptually distinct aspects of problem-focused coping (active coping, planning, suppression of competing activities, restraint coping, seeking of instrumental social support); five scales measure aspects of what might be viewed as emotional-focused coping (seeking of emotional social support, positive reinterpretation, acceptance, denial, turning to religion); and three scales measure coping responses that arguably are less useful (focus on and venting of emotions, behavioral disengagement, mental disengagement).
