ASCENT: Awareness and Self-Compassion Enhancing Narcolepsy Treatment

Remember when we interview Dr. Jason Ong a couple weeks back about Mental Health and Mindfulness, well the study he mentioned is now seeking participants.

ASCENT: Awareness and Self-Compassion Enhancing Narcolepsy Treatment

Have you been diagnosed with narcolepsy?Do you struggle with depression or anxiety? The Behavioral Sleep Medicine Lab is evaluating the feasibility of a mindfulness meditation program designed to reduce psychological distress for people with narcolepsy.

Eligible volunteers will be asked to:
– Complete an assessment to determine eligibility to participate.
– Participate in a mindfulness intervention delivered through live videoconferencing
– Complete study assessments every four weeks for 12 weeks.

We are grateful to continue to partner with Dr. Jason Ong and assist in the funding of his pioneering research.
