A meta-analysis of 14 randomized controlled trials involving 1784 patients found that mindfulness-based interventions, compared with conventional care, effectively relieve anxiety, depression, and perceived stress in women with infertility, and improve quality of life, including physiological function, role limitations due to physical problems, vitality, and mental health. The evidence suggests mindfulness therapy can reduce stress and enhance well-being, but the authors note that the quantity and quality of the literature are limited, calling for more multi-center, large-sample, high-quality randomized controlled trials.
