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.
