Effect of mindfulness therapy on the intervention of cancer-related fatigue in patients with lung cancer: a meta-analysis
Journal Title: TMR Non-Drug Therapy - Year 2020, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: To systematically evaluate the effects of mindfulness therapy on oncogenic fatigue in patients with lung cancer. Methods: Computer searching was conducted in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase and other databases. Combined with manual search, randomized controlled trials about the effect of mindfulness therapy on the cancer-related fatigue in patients with lung cancer were collected. The search time was from the establishment of the database to December 2019. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted the data, and evaluated the risk of bias in the included study. RevMan 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis. Results: A total of 448 patients were included in 6 randomized controlled trials. Meta-analysis results show that mindfulness therapy can help reduce carcinogenic fatigue in patients with lung cancer (standardized mean difference (SMD) = −1.67, 95% confidence interval (CI) (−2.09, −1.24), P < 0.001), and improve anxiety (SMD = −1.33, 95% CI (−2.53, −0.13), P = 0.03), relieve depression (SMD = −1.43, 95% CI (−2.13, −0.73), P < 0.001). Conclusion: There is limited evidence that mindfulness therapy can improve cancer-related fatigue, anxiety, and depression in patients with lung cancer. Limited by the number and quality of included studies, the above conclusions need to be further validated by high-quality clinical trials.
