Investigating the effect of transcendental meditation on spiritual wellbeing of Type-2 diabetic amputees: A clinical trial study. Heliyon, 6(12), e05567.
Clinical trial randomizing 54 Type-2 diabetic amputees to three Transcendental Meditation sessions or a control condition, measuring spiritual well-being before and after. Post-intervention scores did not favor the TM group.
- Psychological Health: Fifty-four Type-2 diabetic amputees were randomized to three Transcendental Meditation sessions or a control condition, with spiritual well-being measured before and after.
- Psychological Health: Post-intervention spiritual well-being scores were lower in the TM group than in the control group (88.40 vs 97.82), so the study does not show a TM benefit.
- Health—General: The intervention was limited to three instructional sessions, much briefer than standard TM training, which limits comparability with other trials.
