“…Other intervention types outside the scope of this review were also found in the literature search. These include “Healing Touch” [ 56 ], hypnosis [ 57 ], art therapy [ 58 ], massage therapy [ 59 ], music therapy [ 60 ], and olfactory mental imagery [ 61 , 62 ]. Although these interventions utilized different methodologies from MBIs and IET, they may employ similar facets of mindfulness and/or exercise.…”

Background Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and isometric exercise training (IET) interventions are relatively new approaches to maintain physical functioning, alleviate pain, prevent joint stiffness and muscular atrophy, and positively influence other postoperative care outcomes. Objective The aim of this review was to identify the impacts of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) and IET and, more specifically, their combination, which have not previously been assessed to our knowledge. Methods Studies were identified by searching the PubMed and Cochrane databases within the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) algorithm format and using relevant keyword combinations, which resulted in 39 studies meeting the inclusion criteria. Results In general, MBI was shown to positively impact both pain relief and physical functioning, while IET positively impacted physical functioning. Numerous other benefits, including improved quality of life and decreased postoperative opioid use, were also described from both interventions; however, further research is needed to confirm these findings as well as to determine other possible benefits. No studies were found that combined MBI and IET. Conclusions Despite many positive results from each individual intervention, there is a lack of information about how the combination of MBI and IET might impact postoperative care. The combination of these two interventions might prove to be more effective than each individual intervention alone, and the findings from this review show that they could even be complementary. Going forward, research should be expanded to study the possible benefits of the combination of MBI and IET in postoperative care routines as well as other possible combinations.

BACKGROUND This review identifies the impacts of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and isometric exercise interventions (IEIs) in postoperative care settings. Both interventions are relatively new approaches to maintain physical functioning, alleviate pain, prevent joint stiffness and muscular atrophy, and positively influence other postoperative care outcomes. OBJECTIVE To our knowledge, a review of the impacts of these interventions and, more specifically, of their combination has not been done before. This review will be the first to do so. METHODS Studies were identified by searching “PubMed” and “Cochrane databases” within PPRISMA algorithm format and using the relevant keyword combinations, which resulted in 39 studies meeting the inclusion criteria. RESULTS In general, MBCT was shown to positively impact both pain relief and physical functioning while IEIs positively impacted physical functioning. Numerous other benefits were also described from both interventions and further research is needed to confirm these findings as well as to determine other possible benefits. However, no studies were found that combined MBCT and IEIs. CONCLUSIONS While there are many positive results from each individual intervention, there is a lack of information about how the combination of MBCT and IEIs might impact postoperative care. The combination of the two interventions might prove to be more effective than each individual intervention alone and the findings from this review show that they could even be complementary. Going forward, research should be expanded to study the possible benefits of the combination of MBCT and IEIs in postoperative care routines as well as other possible combinations.
