Description
Yoann Birling and co-authors rank mind-body therapies for easing low mood and worry in people with cancer, in this 2026 review. Such therapies are popular, yet nobody had compared them head to head across the trials. The team pooled the studies through a network method.
One hundred eighty-two trials with nearly seventeen thousand patients entered the analysis. For depression, biofeedback, spiritual practices, and mindfulness programs all beat usual care by large margins. For anxiety, yoga and mindfulness led. The ranking gives clinics an evidence order for offering these therapies beside standard treatment. The ranking gives clinics an evidence order for offering these therapies beside standard treatment and scarce staff time.
