Abstract
The conclusions of the work published in PLoSOne: “Unwanted effects: Is there a negative side of meditation? A multicenter survey” should open a debate about the place of different practices in the health care system and future research. There are plenty of works being done, a lot of them with biased designs, showing benefits. This work shows a different point, about a poorly researched area within meditation. All the interventions are subjected to side effects.
