Transcendental meditation and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis functioning: A pilot, randomized controlled trial with young adults. Stress, 23(1), 105–115.
Pilot randomized controlled trial of 34 young adults assigned to eight weeks of Transcendental Meditation training or a wait-list control, examining hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis functioning.
- Biochemical: Thirty-four young adults were randomized to eight weeks of Transcendental Meditation training or a wait-list control in this pilot trial.
- Biochemical: Results suggest TM may help regulate hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis functioning, with changes extending beyond the practice period itself.
- Response to Stress: The authors note the small pilot sample limits generalization and call for replication in larger randomized trials.
