Faster PTSD Reduction in TM Than in Control Groups (IMAGE)
Caption
All fifteen studies in the most recent paper showed that in every case TM worked more rapidly than the control procedure. The four charts shown in this figure used repeated measures, illustrating that TM (dotted lines) worked more rapidly than the control groups (solid lines). For military personnel, (Nidich et al., 2018), TM worked more rapidly than Health Education (HE), or Prolonged Exposure therapy (PE), a first-line therapy used by the U.S.A. Veterans Administration. For traumatized South African college students who had lived during war and racial discrimination (Bandy et al., 2019), TM worked more rapidly than controls who received only their usual college curriculum, NT = No Treatment. For clinical nurses during COVID (Bonamer et al., 2024) TM worked more rapidly than Wait List Controls (WLC) who agreed to wait until after the experiment to learn TM. For survivors of domestic violence (battered women, Leach and Lorenzon, 2023) TM worked faster than Support Group therapy. PTSD patients in every population noticed obvious reductions in PTSD symptoms, within one month of practicing TM. Those who practiced it according to the recommended twice a day schedule got the best results.
