What is MBI?

Mind-body interventions (MBI) are a range of health and fitness techniques that can increase connections between the mind, body, and behaviors. You might be familiar with yoga, meditation, or relaxation therapy. These are a few examples of mind-body interventions – there are many more.

Gli interventi mente-corpo possono essere usati come parte di un approccio complementare per aiutare con molte malattie diverse, inclusa la Glomerulosclerosi Segmentale Focale (FSGS). Può essere usato insieme ai trattamenti tradizionali per:

  • alleviare il dolore

  • ridurre la fatica e favorire il sonno

  • aumentare la mobilità e il funzionamento fisico

  • migliorare l'umore e la qualità della vita

Ciò che rende l'intervento mente-corpo un ottimo complemento a un piano di trattamento generale è che può fornire seri benefici per la salute senza molti rischi o costi - e permette al paziente di giocare un ruolo attivo nella sua cura. 

Come può l'MBI aiutare i sintomi della FSGS?

Some clinical studies have demonstrated that MBI interventions can help with symptoms of chronic kidney disease. For example:

  • Yoga was shown to significantly lower blood pressure and improve physical, social, and mental health related quality of life measures. It also helped with pain and sleep disturbances (1);

  • Tai chi is a gentle physical exercise and stretching combined with mindfulness. It was shown to improve physical functioning and quality of life measures for people undergoing dialysis (2);

  • Music therapy is a clinical use of music (listening, singing, playing instruments, or composing) to support individualized health goals. You don’t need to have any musical skills to participate. In clinical studies with patients with chronic kidney disease, music therapy reduced anxiety and pain symptoms (3);

  • Relaxation therapies can use different techniques, but each is meant to bring about the body’s relaxation response, which can help you slow breathing, lower blood pressure, and reduce the heart rate. In studies with people with chronic kidney disease, relaxation therapies, such as progressive relaxation therapy and guided visual imagery, helped reduce feelings of anxiety and fatigue (4);

  • Spiritual therapy uses listening to religious recitations or spiritual prayer to help with quality of life. Studies with people with chronic kidney disease demonstrated that spiritual therapy helped reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms (5);

  • Exercise therapy uses Pilates and aerobic exercises to reduce anxiety symptoms (6).

 Prossimo passo, parlare con il medico di MBI
