Summary
This pilot study tested whether a specially adapted mindfulness program is feasible for people with Parkinson's disease. The program included shorter meditations, more movement, and extra breaks. Researchers enrolled 20 patients to see if they could complete the program and if it helped with symptoms. The goal is to find out if this approach is practical and worth studying further.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a non-drug way to help Parkinson's patients manage stress and improve quality of life.
