“…Although in 2014, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network indicated that MBSR had a high level of evidence, there have been few large randomized trials reporting significant effects. 5,22,28 Our large RCT adds additional scientific evidence for the extended clinical effectiveness of MBSR(BC) to alleviate multiple existing psychological and physical symptoms in BCSs. Major benefits of the MBSR(BC) program include that it can be easily learned and does not require a great deal of physical effort when practiced.…”

The purpose of this randomized trial was to evaluate the efficacy of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction for Breast Cancer (MBSR [BC]) program in improving psychological and physical symptoms and quality of life among breast cancer survivors (BCSs) who completed treatment.Outcomes were assessed immediately after 6 weeks of MBSR(BC) training and 6 weeks later to test efficacy over an extended timeframe. Patients and MethodsA total of 322 BCSs were randomly assigned to either a 6-week MBSR(BC) program (n = 155) or a usual care group (n = 167). Psychological (depression, anxiety, stress, and fear of recurrence) and physical symptoms (fatigue and pain) and quality of life (as related to health) were assessed at baseline and at 6 and 12 weeks. Linear mixed models were used to assess MBSR(BC) effects over time, and participant characteristics at baseline were also tested as moderators of MBSR(BC) effects. ResultsResults demonstrated extended improvement for the MBSR(BC) group compared with usual care in both psychological symptoms of anxiety, fear of recurrence overall, and fear of recurrence problems and physical symptoms of fatigue severity and fatigue interference (P , .01). Overall effect sizes were largest for fear of recurrence problems (d = 0.35) and fatigue severity (d = 0.27). Moderation effects showed BCSs with the highest levels of stress at baseline experienced the greatest benefit from MBSR(BC). ConclusionThe MBSR(BC) program significantly improved a broad range of symptoms among BCSs up to 6 weeks after MBSR(BC) training, with generally small to moderate overall effect sizes.

“…21-24, 28 Despite promising results, there is limited evidence from large clinical trials regarding the effects of MBSR on QOL among BCSs. 22,23 A recent trial among 229 BCSs no longer receiving treatment demonstrated greater improvement in QOL at both 8-and 12-week follow-up compared with controls.…”

“…A pesar de estas evidencias, quedan cuestiones por resolver respecto a cuál es el grado de eficacia concreto que puede obtenerse aplicando el MBSR a pacientes oncológicos, puesto que los trabajos de revisión coinciden en señalar que hay bastantes limitaciones metodológicas en las investigaciones publicadas y que si el meta-análisis incluye únicamente los artículos que utilizan diseño aleatorizado, el tamaño del efecto se reduce sensiblemente (26) . Así, algunas investigaciones no utilizan la aleatorización para construir el grupo control (27) o aplican únicamente un diseño pre-post (20,28) , mientras que otras, si bien utilizan un grupo control aleatorizado, éste no recibe tratamiento, manteniéndose en lista de espera o sin recibir tratamiento específico (21,23,(29)(30)(31) por lo que es difícil concluir si el MBSR, aun siendo aparentemente eficaz, ofrece mejores resultados que otros tipos de intervención.…”

Results: In the MBSR group, scores in anxiety and depression decreased at post-treatment assessment whereas quality of life scores increased. These differences reached statistical significance. In the psychoeducational group only state anxiety scores decreased at posttreatment, with the difference reaching statistical significance.Conclusions: MBSR produces higher improvements in emotional states and quality of

People with severe speech and physical impairments may benefit from mindfulness meditation training because it has the potential to enhance their ability to cope with anxiety, depression, and pain and improve their attentional capacity to use brain-computer interface systems. Seven adults with severe speech and physical impairments-defined as speech that is understood less than 25% of the time and/or severely reduced hand function for writing/typing-participated in this exploratory, uncontrolled intervention study. The objectives of this study were to describe the development and implementation of a six-week mindfulness meditation intervention and to identify feasible outcome measures in this population. The weekly intervention was delivered by an instructor in the participant's home, and participants were encouraged to practice daily using audio recordings. The objective adherence to home practice was 10.2 minutes per day. Exploratory outcome measures were an n-back working memory task, the Attention Process Training-II Attention Questionnaire, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Perceived Stress Scale, the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, and a qualitative feedback survey. There were no statistically significant pre-post results in this small sample, yet administration of the measures proved feasible and qualitative reports were overall positive. Obstacles to teaching mindfulness meditation to persons with SSPI are reported, and solutions are proposed.
