Directly from Malaysia: 20-Minute Mindful Breathing Intervention Reduces Cancer Pain
A single session of 20-minute mindful breathing is beneficial for reducing cancer pain, according to a study published online Aug. 20 in BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care.
Seng Beng Tan, M.B.B.S., from Subang Jaya Medical Centre in Malaysia, and colleagues examined the efficacy of a single session of 20-minute mindful breathing for reducing cancer pain among adults with cancer in a randomized controlled study. Adult cancer inpatients with a pain score of ≥4/10 were randomly assigned to a 20-minute mindful breathing intervention or a 20-minute supportive listening control group.
