Adding Rajyoga meditation to standard treatment for panic disorder improves symptoms more than standard treatment alone. In a randomized controlled trial, 110 patients with panic disorder were assigned to either standard treatment plus Rajyoga meditation or standard treatment alone. After 8 weeks, scores on the Panic Disorder Severity Scale and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale showed significantly greater improvement in the meditation group. The composite score combining both scales also showed a significant difference between groups. Rajyoga meditation, a form of meditation without rituals or mantras, is an effective adjunct therapy for panic disorder when practiced under a trained therapist.
