Recorded summary
A 26-person internet mantram pilot in breast-cancer survivors established delivery feasibility and reported exploratory changes in stress, spiritual wellbeing and selected serum cytokines.
Recorded limitations
Clinical and cytokine outcomes were secondary. Pooled pre/post stress changes do not establish a randomised between-group effect; the small cytokine subset requires replication and measured proteins rather than gene expression.
Evidence and provenance
Chapter Trust Factor uses a minimum of three distinct qualifying studies. Publication records retain their own evidence and assessment.
