First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tested whether an 8-week mindfulness meditation program could reduce embarrassment from tremor in 21 people with Parkinson's disease. Participants wore a smartwatch to track tremor during daily life. The study aims to see if this approach is worth testing in a larger, more controlled trial.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
mindfulness based stress reduction (behavioural intervention)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-drug way to help people with Parkinson's feel less embarrassed by their tremor.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 21 people, so results may not apply to everyone. It also relies on self-reported embarrassment, which is subjective.
