Six randomized conrolled studies . . . used TM as the intervention, with PMR also used as a secondary intervention in several trials . . .

This study further suggests that TM practice . . . does reduce emotional distress associated with pain, resulting in enhanced tolerance of acute pain. Results of this last study are of particular significance, as they highlight meditation’s effects on the regulation of the distress associated with painful feelings. Note: a review by Edwards & Campbell (ref also in TM Research article) reports the same findings on TM and pain.

Researchers . . . found that participants were able to demonstrate regression of coronary arterial plaques (atherosclerosis) after practicing TM twice a day for 6 to 9 months, compared to patients who received simple health education. . . . Researchers at the State University of New York also found that CAD (cardiovascular disease) could be improved with regular TM.

Questions Aug 18 (Jmh649) and answers edit
1. Question re: Ethnicity and Disease review (Paradies): “No where in the paper does it describe their method as a ‘systematic review’” Answer: I wondered about that too. In addition to the points mentioned on the TM Research talk page, I double-checked with a medical reference professional, who confirmed that it is a systematic review.
- At this point, I have spoken with three medical research professionals and they agree that systematic reviews do not necessarily advertise themselves as such. Early morning person (talk) 21:24, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
2. Question re: Pediatrics/American Academy of Pediatrics (author: Black): “However when one does a search of the document the quoted text does not appear.” Answer: If you simply scroll to the page cited, you will see the quotation. Early morning person (talk) 14:20, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
- The quotes are on page e536, upper and middle right. Would suggest you print that page, as it is difficult to read onscreen, being tilted 90 degrees. Early morning person (talk) 20:27, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
