NCT ID NCT07201220
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether practicing relaxation meditation during the early stage of labor can help first-time mothers feel more capable and less afraid. Sixty pregnant women in Turkey will be split into two groups: one group will meditate, the other will not. Researchers will measure changes in self-confidence and fear levels using standard questionnaires.
