However, a 2024 study from University of California San Diego School of Medicine researchers showed that this appears not to be the case: the practice engages separate neural pathways from the well-documented \u201cplacebo effect.\u201d The researchers used advanced brain imaging techniques to compare the pain-reducing effects of mindfulness meditation, a placebo cream, and a \u201csham\u201d mindfulness meditation (deep breathing). Findings: mindfulness meditation produced significant reductions in pain intensity and unpleasantness ratings, and also reduced brain activity patterns associated with pain and negative emotions.<br \/><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com\/article\/S0006-3223(24)01556-7\/abstract\">Access this study on meditation<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><b>Meditation as Effective as Common Medication for Anxiety Disorder<br \/><\/b>A first-ever study in\u00a0<i>JAMA Psychiatry<\/i>\u00a0(2022) compared medication to meditation for generalized anxiety disorder, finding the two methods work equally well at reducing symptoms. Half of the study participants were given an antidepressant commonly prescribed for anxiety (Lexapro), while the other half\u00a0participated in a mindfulness-based stress reduction program. Both groups reported a 20% reduction in symptoms. Side effects were far more common for the antidepressant group (nearly 80% reported at least one), while the mindfulness program was time-intensive, involving twice weekly 2 1\/2-hour group classes, one full day at a meditation retreat, and recommendations to meditate for 45 minutes each day for the entire two-month study period.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamapsychiatry\/article-abstract\/2798510\">Access this study on meditation\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><b>A Week of Intense Meditation Caused Positive Changes to Immune System<\/b>\n<p>A 2022 University of Florida study found that meditation done at an intense level caused diverse positive\u00a0changes in participants\u2019 immune systems.
