A randomized clinical trial of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy versus unrestricted services for health anxiety (hypochondriasis).
Overview
This randomized clinical trial compares the impact of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) added to usual services against usual services alone for individuals with health anxiety. The study involved 74 participants assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and one year later using diagnostic status and standardized measures. Results indicated that the MBCT group experienced significantly lower health anxiety symptoms and fewer met diagnostic criteria for hypochondriasis compared to the control group at both time points.
