Can Mindfulness Meditation Limit the Progression and/or Increase the Remission of Cervical Dysplasia?
Brief Summary
In this study two questions will be answered: - can mindfulness meditation help cell-changed on the cervix to disappear? - can mindfulness meditation lower the psychological distress when women have abnormal cervical cancer screening results?
Detailed Description
200 women, who have participated in cervical cancer screening and have mild dysplasia, will be randomized into two groups; an intervention group and a control group.
