Abstract in brief

This meta-analysis reviews how various mind-body and psychological therapies, such as meditation, yoga, hypnotherapy, and CBT, can help reduce the severity of symptoms in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), especially as a complement to medical treatments.
The study found that these therapies generally have medium to high effectiveness in relieving symptoms for both children and adults, with no clear evidence that one specific method is better than others; they often include some form of relaxation or exposure techniques.
The researchers suggest that these therapies might work through different mechanisms but ultimately provide valuable options for managing IBS symptoms, emphasizing their role alongside traditional medical approaches.]
