Cancer-related cognitive impairments experienced by cancer survivors cause many to seek non-pharmacological intereventions to manage these symptoms. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effects of one such intervention, mindbody exercise (MBE), on cognitive function in cancer survivors.
Searches for relevant studies were conducted in four electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science. The Joanna Briggs Institute and Jadad scales were utilized to evaluate the quality of the selected studies.
Eleven studies including 1,032 participants, published between 2006 and 2019, were selected for review based on specific inclusion criteria. Our results indicated that interventions including, yoga, tai chi, and qigong may improve objective and subjective cognitive function in cancer survivors.
Cancer survivors experiencing cognitive symptoms may benefit from participation in MBE. Adequately powered randomized controlled trials are required to establish the short- and long-term effects of MBE on cognitive functioning.
癌症幸存者经历的与癌症相关的认知障碍致使许多人寻求非药物干预措施来管理这些症状。本系统评价的目的是评估一种此类干预措施——身心锻炼(MBE)对癌症幸存者认知功能的影响。
在四个电子数据库中进行了相关研究检索,包括PubMed、Embase、Scopus和Web of Science。运用乔安娜·布里格斯研究所和雅达量表来评估所选研究的质量。
根据特定纳入标准,选择了2006年至2019年间发表的11项研究,共1032名参与者进行综述。我们的结果表明,包括瑜伽、太极拳和气功在内的干预措施可能改善癌症幸存者的客观和主观认知功能。
经历认知症状的癌症幸存者可能会从参与身心锻炼中受益。需要有足够样本量的随机对照试验来确定身心锻炼对认知功能的短期和长期影响。
