How many studies support Meditation?

A 2014 JAMA Internal Medicine meta-analysis of meditation programs found moderate evidence for improvements in stress, anxiety and depression symptoms, with effect sizes generally small-to-moderate — a conclusion echoed by later meta-analyses of blood pressure outcomes and brain morphometry. That's backed by 10 published studies in Vitaebase's database, including 2 randomized controlled trials and 7 meta-analyses, the most recent from 2024 -- a fairly substantial body of research for a single topic.
