Therapeutic potential of yoga nidra for chemo brain: a complementary and integrative perspective.
Review in Psychoradiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment (CICI), commonly known as "chemo brain," affects a significant proportion of cancer survivors, manifesting as memory deficits, reduced attention, and impaired executive function. Conventional pharmacological treatments offer limited efficacy, prompting interest in complementary, non-invasive interventions. Yoga nidra (YN), a structured form of guided yogic relaxation, has demonstrated potential benefits for neurocognitive and emotional regulation. Grounded in ancient Indian traditions and increasingly supported by modern neuroscientific findings, YN appears to influence brainwave activity, autonomic function, and stress-related biomarker mechanisms implicated in the pathophysiology of CICI. This perspective review explores the emerging role of YN in managing chemo brain, integrating insights from neuroimaging, cognitive neuroscience, and psychophysiology. Drawing on peer-reviewed literature from PubMed- and Scopus-indexed sources, the article highlights the need for further research, including functional imaging and biomarker-based studies, to elucidate its therapeutic mechanisms. The findings underscore YN's potential as an adjunctive tool within integrative oncology and neurorehabilitation frameworks.
