A 20-minute session of mindful breathing rapidly reduces multiple symptoms in kidney transplant recipients. Patients who practiced mindful breathing showed a significantly greater decrease in symptom scores compared to a control group, with an average reduction of nearly 5 points on the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale. The findings suggest that a brief mindfulness exercise can provide quick symptom relief for this population.
