Abstract

Irritable Bowel Syndrome(IBS) is a functional disorder of the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract in the absence of structural abnormalities. Psychological factors play a role in the etiology and maintenance of IBS. This study examined the effect of mindfulness meditation on symptoms and psychological states in patients with IBS. Twenty patients with IBS were referred by a local physician or self-referred and assigned to either a meditation condition(n=10) or a wait list symptom monitoring condition(n=10). Patients(n=8) of the meditation group participated in a 7-week group mindfulness meditation sessions and were instructed to practice 10~25 min of meditation daily. The wait list group did not receive any treatment. Pre-and Post intervention data were collected by using IBS symptom diaries, STAI(State-Trait Anxiety Inventory), ASI(Anxiety Sensitivity Inventory), BDI(Beck's Depression Inventory), and Multidimentional Health Locus of Control Scale(MHLC). Results showed that the difference between the mindfulness meditation group and waiting group on CPSR(Composite Primary Symptom Reduction) score failed to reach statistical significance but the ratio of clinically improved partipants in the mindfulness meditation group was higher. In addition, within-subject improvements of mindfulness meditation group were noted for abdominal tenderness, constipation, bloating, nausea, flatulence, and average degree of general symptoms at post-treatment. Significant within-subject changes of mindfulness meditation group were noted for state anxiety, anxiety sensitivity, Internal health locus of control in IBS patients at post-treatment. There was no statistically significant improvement in the wait list group.
