For the first time, internationally, a hospital company has made the decision to approve the experimentation with a Tibetan meditation therapy on the patients of the ward of oncology. In the next few days, the choice of the 80 patients who will participate in the trial will be made.
In order to verify the effectiveness of Tibetan therapy, 40 of them will undergo meditation practices, while the remaining patients will not have to follow the new therapy proposed within the oncology department, forming a control group. Experts won't know the names of those who will be tested, but they will be aware of the type of disease and some blood values.
The Tibetan therapy in question is called "Tong Len", with the meaning of "Take and give". It mainly precedes the practice of meditation. To date, there is no scientific evidence that demonstrates beyond all doubt that the Tibetan meditation practice Tong Len can be derived from the health benefits health for cancer patients and the experimentation will allow us to understand if this activity can cause positive changes in patients, relieving states of anxiety or tension and improving blood values.
