NCT ID NCT05183867

Summary

This study tested whether a 4-week meditation and well-being app called the Healthy Minds Program could help reduce symptoms of depression. Over 1,100 U.S. adults with elevated depression symptoms were randomly assigned to use the app, use a version without meditation, or wait to start. Researchers measured changes in depression, anxiety, sleep, and overall well-being to see if the app was helpful.
