Summary

This study looked at how mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) changes brain activity in 61 adults with PTSD. Participants received MBCT or a comparison mind-body therapy, and researchers used brain scans to measure changes in brain connections. The goal was to understand how therapy works in the brain, not to test a cure or new drug.
