Randomized controlled trials of mind-body interventions for posttraumatic stress disorder: a systematic review.
This systematic review examined strength of evidence for use of mind-body interventions (MBIs), including mindfulness-based interventions (MiBIs), meditation- and mantra-based interventions (MMIs), and movement-based interventions (MoBIs) for treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The authors used the AHRQ-funded evidence tables for the PTSD-Repository to identify relevant studies and assess the risk of bias. The search was conducted between June 2018 and June 2022 using a number of relevant databases. They found 26 randomized controlled trials that met their inclusion criteria. Strength of evidence was rated as low for MiBIs and MMIs, largely due to contradicting results, inconsistent use of active versus passive comparators, and high risk of bias. It was rated as moderate for MoBIs due to individual studies consistently favoring the intervention and a relatively large number of studies and participants. Only two of the included studies had objective outcome measures.
