This article reviews the existing, peer-reviewed evidence for the use of relaxation and mindfulness in both acute and chronic pain.There is some evidence that relaxation can reduce pain outcomes in both acute and chronic pain, however there is evidence that these improvements are not maintained over time.More limited research suggests that mindfulness can lead to improvements in psychological measures and physical functioning and these improvements appear to be maintained at follow-up.Further research is needed. Both researchers and practitioners need to be clearer on the outcomes that their techniques best facilitate and the processes which are active within them.
本文综述了有关在急性和慢性疼痛中使用放松和正念疗法的现有同行评审证据。有证据表明,放松疗法可减轻急性和慢性疼痛的疼痛症状,然而,也有证据表明,这些改善效果不会随着时间推移而持续。更有限的研究表明,正念疗法可改善心理指标和身体机能,且这些改善在随访时似乎得以维持。仍需进一步研究。研究人员和从业者都需要更清楚地了解其技术最有助于实现的结果以及其中起作用的过程。
