Article Synopsis
- The study examined the impact of heartfulness meditation on anxiety and pain perception in patients undergoing impacted third molar surgery (ITMS), hypothesizing that meditation would lower these levels.
- Sixty participants were divided into two groups: one receiving heartfulness meditation prior to surgery and the other serving as a control group, with anxiety assessed using various standardized scales.
- Results showed that the meditation group experienced significantly lower intraoperative anxiety but did not demonstrate notable differences in dental anxiety or pain perception compared to the control group.
