There is growing interest in mind-body therapies as adjuncts to mainstream cancer treatment, and an increasing number of patients turn to these interventions for the control of emotional stress associated with cancer. Increased research funding has enabled many such interventions to be evaluated for their efficacy, including studies of mind-body interventions to reduce pain, anxiety, insomnia, anticipatory, and treatment-related nauseas, hot flashes, and improved mood. Mind-body treatments evaluated for their utility in oncology include relaxation therapies, biofeedback, meditation and hypnosis, yoga, art and music therapy, tai chi, and qigong. Although studies are not always methodologically sound and results mixed, a growing number of well-designed studies provide convincing evidence that mind-body techniques are beneficial adjuncts to cancer treatment. The evidence is sufficient to recommend further investigation and adoption of these techniques in mainstream oncology care.
人们对身心疗法越来越感兴趣，将其作为主流癌症治疗的辅助手段，越来越多的患者转而寻求这些干预措施来控制与癌症相关的情绪压力。研究经费的增加使许多此类干预措施得以评估其疗效，包括研究身心干预措施以减轻疼痛、焦虑、失眠、预期和治疗相关的恶心、热潮红以及改善情绪。评估身心治疗在肿瘤学中的效用的方法包括放松疗法、生物反馈、冥想和催眠、瑜伽、艺术和音乐疗法、太极和气功。尽管这些研究在方法学上并不总是严谨，结果也不一致，但越来越多精心设计的研究提供了令人信服的证据，证明身心技术是癌症治疗的有益辅助手段。这些证据足以推荐在主流肿瘤学护理中进一步研究和采用这些技术。
