Mindfulness‐based cognitive therapy reduces chronic cancer‐related fatigue: a treatment study
Abstract
Introduction: About one‐third of cancer survivors suffer from severe chronic fatigue. Aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of mindfulness‐based cognitive group therapy in reducing severe chronic fatigue in cancer survivors with mixed diagnoses. Patients and Methods: Participants (n = 100) were randomly selected from a cohort and allocated to an intervention and a waiting list condition. Analyses were based on 59 participants in the intervention condition and 24 in the waiting‐list condition. Fatigue severity (Checklist Individual Strength), functional impairment (Sickness Impact Profile) and well being (Health and Disease‐Inventory) were assessed before and after the 9‐week intervention. The intervention group had a follow‐up 6 months following the intervention. Results: At post‐treatment measurement the proportion of clinically improved participants was 30%, versus 4% in the waiting list condition (χ2 (1) = 6.71; p = 0.007). The mean fatigue score at post‐measurement was significantly lower in the intervention group than in the waiting list group corrected for pre‐treatment level of fatigue. The mean well‐being score at post‐measurement was significantly higher in the intervention group than in the waiting list group corrected for pre‐treatment level of well‐being. The treatment effect was maintained at 6‐month follow‐up. No difference between the two conditions was found in functional impairment. Discussion: Mindfulness‐based cognitive therapy is an effective treatment for chronic cancer‐related fatigue. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
