Primaire uitkomstmaten
Perceived physical health, measured by the visual analogue scale of the EQ-5D and the SF-36 (physical component summary).
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
The Mindful Body Trial is a randomized controlled trial in which the effects of mindfulness training on patients with medically unexplained symptoms are measured. We are interested in the effects on the perceived physical health and the cost-effectiveness of mindfulness compared to patients who receive usual care. Patients are recruited in general practices in the Netherlands.
Doel van het onderzoek
Mindfulness training is effective for patients with medically unexplained symptoms. The perceived physical health improves. The training is cost effective in terms of improved quality of life versus the medical costs.
Onderzoeksopzet
All primary and secondary measures are measured at baseline, 3 months after baseline and 12 months after baseline. The medical consumption and the participation in work are measured every month.
The relation with the GP is measured at baseline and after one year.
Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
Intervention:
Mindfulness training (mindfulness based cognitive therapy), consists of 8 weekly sessions of 2,5 hours duration in which patients take part in meditation, yoga and cognitive therapy exercises. Homework takes about 45 minutes per day. Patients share their experience with the group members and the trainer.
Control:
Care as usual during follow up, no participation in mindfulness training. After follow up ( 1 year) patients in the control condition are offered mindfulness training.
