Abstract EN
Background.
Mind-body therapies are used to manage physical and psychological symptoms in many chronic health conditions.
Objective.
To assess the published evidence for using mind-body techniques for symptom management of multiple sclerosis.
Methods.
MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Cochrane Clinical Trials Register were searched from inception to March 24, 2012.
Eleven mind-body studies were reviewed (meditation, yoga, biofeedback, hypnosis, relaxation, and imagery).
Results.
Four high quality trials (yoga, mindfulness, relaxation, and biofeedback) were found helpful for a variety of MS symptoms.
Conclusions.
The evidence for mind-body medicine in MS is limited, yet mind-body therapies are relatively safe and may provide a nonpharmacological benefit for MS symptoms.
