“…In addition to improving a range of variables related to psychosocial dimensions and quality of life [27][28][29][30], research indicates that mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) can alleviate physical symptoms for sufferers of some disorders [29,31,32].

Asthma is a disease that affects the overall health and quality of life of millions of children and adults in the U.S. In addition to the physical symptoms and the limitations, many people with asthma also experience anxiety. Psychological interventions used in conjunction with standard treatment have successfully reduced anxiety, as well as improved lung functioning among people with asthma. Mindfulness techniques have been shown to reduce anxiety among children, adolescents and adults. This study sought to determine if mindfulness meditation might reduce anxiety and also improve lung functioning. It was found that lung functioning was moderately improved, especially on the day of the sessions, pre and post treatment. Anxiety was also substantially improved during the pre and post in-session treatment.

“…A number of systematic reviews suggest that MBSR is effective for a variety of psychosocial cancer symptoms, such as stress, depression, anxiety, and reduced quality of life. 23,24 The day care clinic combines MBSR with elements of the mind-body medicine cancer program of the BensonHenry Mind/Body Medical Institute at Harvard Medical School, which is rooted in psychoneuroendocrinology and focuses on relaxation techniques, exercise, cognitive restructuring, diet, and social support. 25 In addition to elements of these 2 programs, naturopathic methods of self-regulation and self-care are incorporated, that is, cataplasms, phytotherapy, massages, and hydrotherapy.…”

Introduction. Cancer diagnosis and treatment are often associated with physical and psychosocial impairments. Many cancer patients request complementary and alternative therapies such as mind-body medicine. Concept. The department of internal and integrative medicine at the Essen-Mitte Clinics offer a mind-body medicine day care clinic for cancer patients that is based on the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program and the mind-body medicine cancer program of the Harvard Mind/Body Medical Institute. The program encompasses mindfulness training, yoga, mindful exercise, nutrition, naturopathic self-help strategies, and cognitive restructuring. Cases. Two patients who had participated in the day care clinic program are presented here. One patient presented with anxiety and depression after recently diagnosed breast cancer and the other with psychological impairments as a result of multiple nevi excision after malignant melanoma surgery. Both patients improved in terms of anxiety and further psychological symptoms. Conclusions. The Essen-Mitte Clinics mind-body medicine day care clinic appears to alleviate psychological consequences of cancer and its treatment. Further studies and randomized controlled trials are necessary to confirm these results.
