NCT ID NCT07790055
First seen Aug 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial tests whether an 8-day mindfulness body scan can reduce stress and inflammation in people who have survived repeated tidal flooding. Researchers will measure blood markers like IL-6, TNF-α, CRP, and cortisol, along with questionnaires on depression, anxiety, sleep, and quality of life. Participants are adults from Sayung District, Demak, who are registered at a local health center. Half will receive the mindfulness training, and the other half will get standard health monitoring.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Mindfulness Body Scan Training, an 8-day structured mind-body exercise
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to ease stress and inflammation for people living through repeated disasters.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is small and short, and it focuses on one community, so results may not apply broadly. Mindfulness may not change blood markers of inflammation in everyone.
