This follow-up pilot study tested whether Transcendental Meditation® (TM) practice would significantly reduce symptoms of posttraumatic stress in Congolese refugees within 10 days after instruction. The Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Civilian (PCL-C) was administered to nonmatched waitlist controls from a previous study 3 times over a 90-day period. Within 8 days of the third baseline measure, 11 refugees were taught TM, then retested 10 days and 30 days after instruction. Average PCL-C scores dropped 29.9 points from 77.9 to 48.0 in 10 days, then dropped another 12.7 points to 35.3 at 30 days. Effect size at 10 days was high (d = 4.05). There were no adverse events. All participants completed the study and were able to practice TM.
这项后续试点研究旨在测试在 10 天的指导后，超越冥想®（TM）练习是否能显著减轻刚果难民的创伤后应激症状。创伤后应激障碍检查表-平民版（PCL-C）在 90 天内对来自之前研究的未匹配候补对照组进行了 3 次测试。在第三次基线测试的 8 天内，有 11 名难民接受了 TM 教学，然后在指导后的 10 天和 30 天进行了重新测试。PCL-C 平均得分从 77.9 分下降到 48.0 分，在 10 天内下降了 29.9 分，在 30 天内又下降了 12.7 分，至 35.3 分。10 天的效果大小很高（d = 4.05）。没有发生不良反应。所有参与者都完成了研究并能够练习 TM。
