Frontiers in oncology January 1, 2025 Xiong Wang, Lei Gao, Yuqi Pang et al.
A meta-analysis of 11 studies found that mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) therapy reduces cancer-related fatigue and improves sleep quality in breast cancer patients. The analysis showed a large effect on fatigue reduction and meaningful improvement in sleep quality. However, the evidence had moderate to high heterogeneity, so the findings should be interpreted cautiously.
