Summary
This study tested whether a specific meditation technique, Twin Hearts Meditation, could reduce nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy in women with breast cancer. 102 women were split into two groups: one practiced meditation for 30 minutes at least three times a week, while the other received standard care. Researchers tracked nausea severity and vomiting episodes over 24 hours after chemotherapy to see if meditation made a difference.
