Pilot study of acceptance and commitment therapy for irritable bowel syndrome: A preliminary analysis of treatment outcomes and processes of change
Overview
This pilot study examines the efficacy and change processes of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for irritable bowel syndrome among 56 patients. Participants completed a one-day group workshop and self-help manual, with assessments tracking symptom severity, avoidance behaviors, quality of life, and gastrointestinal anxiety at multiple time points. The authors report significant improvements in outcomes associated with increased acceptance of IBS, suggesting the protocol's potential effectiveness.
