Mindfulness helps with function in fibromyalgia
Technique improves outcomes, but the trick is to keep patients meditating, say authors
Mindfulness-based stress reduction is more effective than treatment as usual for improving function and other outcomes in patients with fibromyalgia, according to a randomised trial.
The mindfulness technique has been used to treat patients with chronic stress-related illness and several studies have also found it improves some core symptoms of fibromyalgia, the researchers write.
