Chronic pain affects around 3 million people in Germany. The drug therapies used are only effective to a limited extent and sometimes have considerable side effects. Methods of mind-body medicine (MBM) including especially mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), meditation and yoga, can significantly reduce the perceived intensity of the pain. Combined with evidence-based complementary medicine, MBM as mind-body medicine in integrative and complementary medicine (MICOM) is an effective instrument for self-efficacy and self-care with very few side effects. The reduction of stress plays a key role in this process.
