First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 03, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study looked at whether compassion meditation—a practice that builds kindness and connection—is a practical option for veterans with PTSD. Researchers enrolled 113 veterans across multiple sites to see if they would start and finish the program. The goal was to test feasibility, not to prove the meditation works, so results focus on participation rates and satisfaction.
