What this trial studies

This project aims to develop an intervention focused on interoception for individuals diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension, a condition that significantly affects emotional well-being. The study will utilize a randomized control feasibility trial design, enrolling 32 participants from the Scottish Pulmonary Vascular Unit. Participants will be assigned to either the interoceptive intervention group or a control group to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention, as well as to explore preliminary outcomes. The study seeks to address the lack of established psychological interventions for this patient population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could enhance emotional well-being and coping strategies for patients suffering from pulmonary hypertension.

How similar studies have gone: While the approach of using interoceptive interventions is emerging, there is limited evidence from similar studies specifically targeting pulmonary hypertension, making this a novel exploration.
