NCT ID NCT07502547
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a mindfulness-based stress reduction program can help women aged 60 and older with chronic illness feel less like a burden. 72 participants will either take the program or not, and their feelings will be measured before and after. The goal is to see if this simple, low-cost approach can improve emotional well-being.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a low-cost way to improve emotional well-being for older women with chronic illness.
