Summary

This study tested whether coloring mandalas (circular patterns) at home can improve quality of life for adults with epilepsy. 70 participants were split into two groups: one colored mandalas three times a week for two months, the other did not. Researchers measured changes in quality of life using a standard epilepsy survey. The goal was to see if this simple, relaxing activity could help people feel better emotionally and socially.
