Mindfulness-based therapies in the treatment of functional gastrointestinal disorders: a meta-analysis
Open accessAbstract
Background. Functional gastrointestinal disorders are highly prevalent and standard treatments are often unsatisfactory. Mindfulness-based therapy has shown benefit in conditions including chronic pain, mood, and somatization disorders. Objectives. To assess the quality and effectiveness reported in existing literature, we conducted a meta-analysis of mindfulness-based therapy in functional gastrointestinal disorders. Methods. Pubmed, EBSCO, and Cochrane databases were searched from inception to May 2014. Study inclusion criteria included randomized, controlled studies of adults using mindfulness-based therapy in the treatment of functional gastrointestinal disorders. Study quality was evaluated using the Cochrane risk of bias. Effect sizes were calculated and pooled to achieve a summary effect for the intervention on symptom severity and quality of life. Results. Of 119 records, eight articles, describing seven studies, met inclusion criteria. In six studies, significant improvements were achieved or maintained at the end of intervention or follow-up time points. The studies had an unclear or high risk of bias. Pooled effects were statistically significant for IBS severity (0.59, 95% CI 0.33 to 0.86) and quality of life (0.56, 95% CI 0.47 to 0.79). Conclusion. Studies suggest that mindfulness based interventions may provide benefit in functional gastrointestinal disorders; however, substantial improvements in methodological quality and reporting are needed.

Previous research has shown that mindfulness meditation can have a positive impact on some aspects of somatization, such as symptom severity and pain intensity, and on comorbid anxiety and depression.
“Previous research has shown that mindfulness meditation can have a positive impact on some aspects of somatization, such as symptom severity and pain intensity, and on comorbid anxiety and depression (Hoge et al., 2013; Lakhan and Schofield, 2013; Aucoin et al., 2014; Hilton et al., 2017; Hazlett-Stevens, 2018; Billones et al., 2020).”

The Results (§3.2 and §3.6; page unavailable) report improvements in IBS symptom severity with mindfulness-based therapy. The Introduction (§1; page unavailable) discusses evidence for its use in pain, anxiety, and depression, but the paper does not establish reduced pain intensity or improvement in comorbid anxiety and depression among the patients it analyzed.

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.
