...Trial designs were patients meditates for an hour each day for six days a week. Patients were in line, with 85% still use the program in six months. the intervention was safe with no side effects.
the actual treatment group had classes for a period of 2.5 hours a week for eight weeks and were asked to practice for 45 minutes to an hour each day for six days a week. control group did not have a "treatment". Both groups continued with all their usual medication and were well coordinated as far as drug therapy (75% were for disease modification of anti-rheumatic drugs, 16% for biologics, 32% for steroids, and 51% for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). There were a total of 63 patients, mostly women and well educated.
At the beginning of the study, both groups had similar levels of psychological distress (measured by the Symptom Checklist-90, which includes symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, hostility, and interpersonal relationships). Both groups also had similar levels of RA disease activity.
treatment group showed a 30% reduction in psychological distress from 10 weeks (compared with 10% in the control group) and 33% discount (compared with 2%) at 24 weeks. Both the decrease in the intervention group was statistically significant.
RA disease activity showed no change in the group or at week 10, week 24, but the intervention group showed a decrease of 11%, compared with no change in the control group. What is particularly interesting to consider that the decline in disease activity was accompanied by a reduction in ESR - this has fallen by 23% at weeks 10 and 33% by week 24, while the control group members showed a deterioration in this specific test.
