Body Scan Meditation

Body Scan Meditation reduces chronic pain perception by 40%, outperforming the typical relaxation technique in clinical trials. A systematic head-to-toe attention sweep improves interoceptive awareness, with data showing a 30% higher reduction in somatic tension compared to the average self-guided method. This technique is particularly effective for patients with fibromyalgia, where one study documented a 35% decrease in pain-related disability after eight weeks.
