Summary
This study tests an 8-week mindfulness program designed to reduce anxiety and improve quality of life in women with coronary artery disease. Researchers will enroll 70 women who have had CAD for at least a month and have elevated anxiety. The program includes meditation, breathing exercises, and mindfulness techniques, and will be compared to standard care.
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 Intervention Program (behavioral)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this program could offer women with heart disease a simple, drug-free way to reduce anxiety and feel better day-to-day.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 70 women. The results may not apply to all patients, and the program may not provide lasting benefits beyond the 8 weeks.
