Whom is going to do the research like this on stroke? Don't worry, it will never get done.

Mind–body medicine (MBM) is a holistic approach that has the
potential to ward off more heart attacks than conventional prevention
programs. That is the conclusion reached by Holger Cramer and colleagues
in a systematic review and meta-analysis presented in the latest issue
of Deutsches Ärzteblatt International (Dtsch Arztebl Int 2015; 112:
759-67). They show that MBM in cardiac patients has a positive effect on
coronary events, atherosclerosis, and high blood pressure.
Three of the most important risk factors for coronary heart
disease—lack of exercise, overweight, and stress—are amenable to
intervention. While conventional preventive measures concentrate on
exercise and advice on nutrition, MBM also embraces relaxation methods
and psychological motivation techniques. In the studies analyzed by
Cramer et al., coronary events occurred in 68 of 307 patients who
received conventional interventions but in only half as many—33/308—of
those on MBM prevention programs. The authors point out that despite
this positive effect MBM does not decrease mortality in cardiac
patients. Nevertheless, the lower incidence of coronary events is
beneficial. They therefore endorse MBM or other comparable programs for
lifestyle modification.
