However, it frequently induces significant anxiety and physiological disturbances in patients, which may affect procedural outcomes. Mind-body therapy has been proposed as a non-pharmacological intervention to mitigate these adverse effects.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective:<\/jats:title>\n This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of mind-body therapy in improving psychological and physiological outcomes among patients undergoing UGIE.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n A randomized controlled trial was conducted at Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital, Chennai. Participants were assigned to either an experimental group receiving mind-body therapy or a control group receiving standard care. The mind-body therapy included video-assisted education, breathing exercises, and the Mendelsohn maneuver. Anxiety levels and physiological parameters were assessed pre- and post-intervention.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n Patients in the experimental group exhibited significantly reduced anxiety levels and improved physiological stability compared to the control group. Statistical analysis revealed a meaningful association between mind-body therapy and enhanced patient comfort, with improvements in heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory stability.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Mind-body therapy, incorporating video-assisted education, breathing exercises, and the Mendelsohn maneuver, is an effective non-pharmacological intervention for reducing anxiety and enhancing physiological stability in patients undergoing UGIE. These findings support the integration of mind-body interventions into routine endoscopic care to improve patient outcomes. Future research should explore the long-term benefits and broader applicability of such interventions in endoscopic and other invasive procedures.<\/jats:p>\n
