Virtual Patient Groups for Sarcoidosis Associated Fatigue

United States100 participantsStarted 2026-02-26

Plain-language summary

This research study is testing whether Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) can help reduce fatigue in people with sarcoidosis. The study will also look at whether MBSR can improve symptoms of anxiety and depression. Participants will be placed into one of two groups: * One group will take part in an 8-week virtual MBSR program, attend weekly online sessions, keep a daily mindfulness journal, and complete surveys about fatigue, anxiety, and depression. * The other group will join a virtual support group once a month for 5 months and complete the same surveys. The goal is to see which approach is more helpful for improving fatigue and mental well-being in people with sarcoidosis.
