Abstract
Objective
To make a comprehensive evaluation of the anxiolytic effects of Mind body exercise (MBE) therapy and potential variations in demographic and intervention characteristics.
Methods
Based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, the Web of Science, PsycINFO, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published before 1 May 2023. Pooled standardized mean differences (SMDs) and moderator analysis were used.
Results
A total of 61 studies (k = 76) were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with the control groups (n = 2972), the MBE intervention groups (n = 2984) had significantly reduced anxiety with a small effect (SMD = 0.454, 95% CI: 0.353 to 0.556, p < 0.001, I2 = 73.949%). Moderator analysis showed that research area, sex, age, health status, session duration, and research quality played moderating roles. Interventions lasting over 60 min were most effective in reducing anxiety.
Conclusion
MBE is an effective alternative or adjuvant intervention for anxiety across participant characteristics and research area. Future research should improve the quality and design and compare the anxiolytic effects between different types of MBE interventions or between MBE interventions and other intervention types. It is also necessary to analyze the dose effects of MBE interventions.
