“…Many individual studies exist, some of them promising [142,143] but not followed up, and a bibliography details the earlier research [144]. Two recent reviews conclude that there is too little research for definitive conclusions, but that first results are encouraging [145,146].…”

Mind-Body practices have become increasingly popular as components of psychotherapeutic and behavior medicine interventions. They comprise an array of different methods and techniques that use some sort of mental-behavioral training and involve the modulation of states of consciousness in order to influence bodily processes towards greater health, well-being and better functioning. Mind-body practices may thus be interpreted as the salutogenetic mirror image of psychosomatic medicine, where psychophysiological and health consequences of specific psychological states are studied, such as stress arousal, psychological trauma or depression. This contribution examines the empirical evidence of the most common mind-body techniques with regard to their salutogenetic potential. We concisely discuss some aspects of the mind-body problem, before we consider some historical aspects and achievements of psychosomatic medicine. We then turn to some prominent mind-body practices and their application, as well as the empirical database for them.

“…Contato físico das mãos e oração conjunta, técni-cas miorrelaxantes, como a ioga e tai-chi-chuan, que usam a meditação contribuem para o bem-estar do paciente com melhor adaptação à dor crônica. Os oncologistas entendem que a busca do lado espiritual pelo paciente diante do tratamento de câncer é mais um episódio na sua batalha pessoal e existencial a ser respeitado e não apenas uma atitude médica 36,41,42 .…”

“…O efeito placebo é comum a todos os tratamentos, mas não é específico ao tratamento testado. Os efeitos analgésicos do placebo não se devem a inclinações pessoais ou fatores subjetivos, mas a específicos circuitos encefálicos e a processos de neurotransmissão peptidérgica relacionadas com a dor: endorfinas, encefalinas, dinorfinas e outros neurotransmissores 1,2,7-10, 21,41,42,74,164 . O efeito placebo é poderoso nas doenças de etiopatogenia psicossomática, como asma, hipertensão arterial e sín-dromes dolorosas.…”

“…The physical contact with the hands combined with prayer, muscle relaxation techniques, such as yoga and tai-chi-chuan that use meditation, contributes to the patient's well being and better adaptation to chronic pain. Oncologists understand that the patient's search for spirituality when facing cancer treatment is another episode in his personal and existential battle that should be respected 36,41,42 .…”

“…The placebo effect is common to every treatment, but it is not specific to the treatment being tested. The analgesic effects of a placebo are not a consequence of personal tendencies or subjective factors, but of specific encephalic circuits and peptidergic neurotransmission connected to pain: endorphins, encephalins, dinorphins, and others 1,2,7-10, 21,41,42,74,164 . The placebo effect is very strong in diseases with a psychosomatic etiopathogeny, such as asthma, hypertension, and pain syndromes.…”
