NCT ID NCT07420413
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether coloring mandalas can lower stress, anxiety, and pain in women who have a missed abortion (a pregnancy loss before 10 weeks). About 126 women will be randomly assigned to either color mandalas or receive standard care. Researchers will measure changes in anxiety and stress right after the coloring session.
