Trial Completed: Effect of the MindUP Program on Depression, Anxiety, and Stress in Pakistani Orphan Adolescents (NCT07468994)

Researchers in Pakistan completed a study testing whether a mindfulness program called MindUP could help orphan teenagers feel less depressed, anxious, and stressed. The program teaches techniques to calm the mind and manage difficult emotions.
