Shared Meditation Involving People With Cancer, Carers and Third Parties: Any Added Value Compared With Meditation Conducted With Patients? IMPLIC 2, a Randomised Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Shared meditation and Meditation with patients oly for Patients With Cancer. Completed, enrolled 96 participants across 1 site.

Although the benefits of meditation are increasingly well documented, few hospitals offer this integrative approach in their supportive cancer care. Meditation is sometimes provided, but its potential benefits remain insufficiently evaluated. This project is based on the hypothesis that there could be a benefit in meditating together.
