NCT ID NCT07274553
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an 8-week mindfulness program (breathing, body scans, mindful movement) can reduce digital game addiction, stress, and improve sleep in 80 adolescents aged 12-16. Participants are randomly assigned to either the mindfulness group or a control group that continues normal school activities. The goal is to see if these simple mental exercises can help teens feel better and break unhealthy gaming habits.
