Abstract

Background and Aim: To observe the clinical therapeutic effect and mental state of Mindfulness- Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) in patients with Functional Dyspepsia (FD). Methods: In this study, 80 patients suffering from FD in outpatient clinic were enrolled from January to December 2020, they were randomly divided into conventional treatment group (control group) and MBCT treatment group (observation group). Patients in control group were prescribed rabeprazole and Mosapride, and patients in observation group were given MBCT therapy in addition to above drugs. After eight weeks of treatment, changes in gastrointestinal symptom score, anxiety, depression, mindfulness scale and sleep quality score, and gastric emptying testing were compared between these two groups. Results: The observation group had strikingly lower gastrointestinal symptom scores, SAS, SDS, PSQI and SCL-90 scale scores than the control group, higher Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) scale scores than the control group (P<0.05). No conspicuous changes in gastric emptying monitoring (P>0.05). Conclusions: MBCT therapy can improve patients’ gastrointestinal symptoms, lessen anxiety and depression levels and ameliorate sleep quality.
