"A recent comprehensive meta-analysis of randomised clinical trials showed that mindfulness interventions only led to moderate improvements in depression, anxiety and pain, and very small improvements in stress reduction and quality of life.

Further, when mindfulness was compared with other interventions, such as physical exercise or relaxation, it was not more effective."
