Summary

This trial studies how well a mind-body intervention works in improving overall quality of life in adolescents and young adults with Hodgkin lymphoma. A meditation based mind-body intervention may help lower distress, depressive symptoms, and anxiety in adolescents and young adults coping with Hodgkin lymphoma.

Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Examine the feasibility of the mind-body intervention in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Establish the initial intervention efficacy regarding psychological distress and cancer symptoms (tertiary objective) relative to an attention control (AC) group.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:

I. Explore mediation (e.g., mindfulness, compassion, social connection, inflammatory processes) and moderation (e.g., demographic and medical factors) of the intervention effects.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 groups.

GROUP I: Patients attend meditation group sessions over 75 minutes once weekly for up to 5 weeks.

GROUP II: Patients attend educational group sessions over 75 minutes once weekly for up to 5 weeks.

After completion of study intervention, patients are followed at 6 and 12 weeks.
