Commentary: How to Make the Ghosts in my Bedroom Disappear? Focused-Attention Meditation Combined with Muscle Relaxation (MR Therapy)a??A Direct Treatment Intervention for Sleep Paralysis

摘要

We read with interest Dr. Jalal's recent publication on another potential treatment option for recurrent isolated sleep paralysis: Meditation Combined with Muscle Relaxation (MR Therapy). The author is to be commended for adding to the limited literature on ameliorating problematic cases of isolated sleep paralysis (ISP). As recently reviewed (Sharpless, 2016), there are few options available, pharmacological or otherwise, for the chronic and severe cases of ISP, and none of these yet possess compelling evidence in favor of their efficacy.
