CRD SUMMARY: The review concluded that mindfulness-based stress reduction had small effects on depression, anxiety and psychological distress in people with chronic medical diseases. This result was based on a small number of studies with diverse population and some methodological flaws. The authors' conclusions should be regarded as suggestive rather than definitive as the results may have been overestimated.
