Abstract
This study evaluated whether a short-term mindfulness-based intervention could improve attention impairment for participants with a neurological condition. The results demonstrated a clinical improvement in self-reported measures of mindfulness, attention and psychological distress. This was not observed using the neuropsychological test of attention for overall group scores.
