Mindfulness meditation combined with a BrainLink intelligent biofeedback instrument significantly reduces anxiety, pain, and brain fatigue while improving quality of life in pancreatic cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. In a trial with 145 patients, those receiving the combined intervention showed lower anxiety scores, lower pain scores, and higher quality-of-life scores at 4, 8, and 12 weeks compared to a control group receiving routine nursing care. The intervention also improved brain fatigue relief, concentration, and relaxation levels, and increased alpha and theta brain waves. The findings suggest this approach offers a novel way to support psychosomatic health in this patient group.
