Summary
This study tested whether adding acupuncture and yoga to a medication reduction plan helps older adults safely lower their use of benzodiazepines (drugs for anxiety and sleep). Twenty-three adults aged 65 and older took part in a 12-week program that included gradual dose reduction, weekly acupuncture, and private yoga classes. The goal was to see if these complementary therapies could ease the process of cutting back on these medications.
