Effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Central Pain Sensitization Syndromes: A Systematic Review
Overview
This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for patients with central pain sensitization syndromes, including fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, and migraine. The authors analyze 21 studies to determine if ACT reduces symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and pain, noting that it generally outperforms non-intervention and some pharmacological controls. The resource highlights a lack of research on specific conditions like tension-type headache and interstitial cystitis, indicating a need for further investigation.
