Method: We searched studies in the PubMed and Cochrane collaborative library at all levels from 2010 to April 2019. Two independent reviewers evaluated the articles according to the predefined criteria and extracted the related data. Primary outcomes associated with tumor size shrinkage, relapse and overall survival along with secondary outcomes such as pain, quality of life, and side effects were investigated. Results: 112 studies were evaluated out of which only 6 studies that covered original studies and case reports were entered into this systematic review. A total of 79subjects had participated in these six studies with an age range of 22 to 41 years old. In five studies, participants had a primary tumor and in one research they reported relapse. The recommended dose was 400 mg/day, which was usually continued for 4 to 12 months. The tumor size shrinkage and low side effects of drugs have been reported. Conclusion: According to the results, no systemic treatment for PVNS and AF has been approved so far, but many studies have demonstrated the efficacy of Imatinib in the treatment of these diseases.

The subjects include 45 MDD patients admitted in psychological advisory centers in Neyshabur, all of whom are selected by convenience sampling method and randomly divided into three groups: the compassion-focused therapy group, the quality of the life-therapy group, and the control group.
