How many studies support Stress Reduction?

Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and related mind-body practices are supported by multiple meta-analyses, including one on physiological stress markers and another examining the psychological mechanisms behind MBSR's benefits, plus a randomized controlled trial showing improved sleep and emotion regulation in depressed elderly adults. That's backed by 6 published studies in Vitaebase's database, including 2 randomized controlled trials and 3 meta-analyses, the most recent from 2025 -- a modest but real research base.
