Abstract (AB):
This evidence report, developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, is based on a literature search on the use of mind-body therapies for the treatment of gastrointestinal conditions. It focuses on behavioral therapy, biofeedback, cognitive therapy, guided imagery, hypnosis, meditation, placebo therapy, relaxation therapy, and multimodal therapy, and the efficacy of these therapies in treating gastrointestinal conditions. The specific questions addressed in the report are (1) What mind-body therapies have been reported in the literature, for which body systems/conditions, and using what kind of research design?, and (2) What is the efficacy of mind-body therapies for the treatment of gastrointestinal conditions? 100 references.
