Abstract
- Background and purpose: Little is known about the applicability, utilization, and effectiveness of mind–body interventions (MBIs) for conditions that are not predominantly pain, neoplastic, or psychiatric, particularly in pediatric patients. This scoping review describes research pertaining to such interventions in youth with nonpain, noncancer, and nonpsychiatric predominant chronic medical conditions. Methods: Searches of EBSCO CINAHL, Elsevier Scopus, Ovid for MEDLINE, and Ovid PsycInfo were conducted to investigate MBIs in youth under 18 years of age with nonpain, noncancer, and nonpsychiatric predominant chronic medical conditions. Articles published between 2010 and 2020 were included. Abstracts were screened by three authors for inclusion, and disagreements were resolved by a designated author. Selected full-text articles were divided among all authors for review of study quality, intervention feasibility and acceptability, and effectiveness. Results: The search yielded 1010 titles with 15 meeting the final inclusion criteria, studying a total of 641 youth. Participants ranged in age from 6 to 19 years (included studies had data on participants <18 years reported separately); 61.5% were female (n = 394) and 38.5% were male (n = 247). The two most common conditions studied were asthma and irritable bowel syndrome, with yoga being the most popular intervention. Overall, MBIs showed promising preliminary evidence for improving symptoms and quality of life in youth with chronic medical conditions. Conclusion: MBIs have been successfully delivered and show promise in symptom palliation and quality of life improvement for youth with a variety of chronic medical conditions. More data from high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to further characterize the effectiveness of specific modalities for specific conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
