Calm your mind, move your heart: mindfulness plus exercise boosts recovery after stent
NCT ID NCT07544459
First seen May 04, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tested whether adding mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) to aerobic training helps heart patients who had a stent procedure. 150 people were split into two groups: one did MBSR plus aerobic exercise, the other did aerobic exercise alone. Researchers measured fear of movement, heart rate variability, exercise ability, and mood. The goal was to see if the combination improves recovery more than exercise alone.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to help heart patients overcome fear of exercise and improve their recovery after a stent procedure.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with no blinding, so results may not apply broadly. The improvements seen might be due to extra attention rather than the specific combination.
