PNI provides the scientific foundation of several integrative therapies. PNI interventions or mind-body therapies can be categorized into four general mechanisms: sensory, cognitive, expressive, and physical. Some therapies are used in combination, and others incorporate more than one mechanism. Although PNI is limited as a purely biomedical framework, it is a valuable frame of reference because it supports the use of many integrative therapies for patients with cancer.
心理神经免疫学为多种综合疗法提供了科学基础。心理神经免疫学干预或身心疗法可分为四种一般机制:感觉、认知、表达和身体。有些疗法联合使用,而其他疗法则包含不止一种机制。尽管心理神经免疫学作为一个纯粹的生物医学框架存在局限性,但它是一个有价值的参考框架,因为它支持为癌症患者使用多种综合疗法。
