Virtual mind-body treatment for adolescents with neurofibromatosis: Study protocol for a single-blind randomized controlled trial
Neurofibromatoses (NF) are a group of genetically distinct disorders of the nervous system unified by the predisposition to nerve sheath tumors. Although adolescents with NF types 1 and 2 (NF1 and NF2) report poor quality of life and high psychosocial burden, there are no evidence-based interventions to address these needs. This paper presents the study design and protocol for the first randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a mind-body intervention for adolescents with NF, Resilient Youth with NF (RY-NF), versus an educational control group, Health Education for NF (HE-NF), both delivered in groups via secure live video.
