Our programs help participants achieve lasting stress and pain relief. Since 1996 more than 2000 people have completed the StressCare program. All participants who complete the course report significant benefits; two-thirds report profound reductions in physical and psychological symptoms.
A follow-up study conducted at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center Stress Reduction Program shows that improvements experienced by participants in their courses were sustained four years later for a majority of participants.
A study published in the Journal of Behavioral Medicine shows similar dramatic results:
61% of chronic pain patients reported at least a 50% reduction on a pain rating index;
44% reported reduced drug dosages.
In a study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, participants with anxiety and panic disorders achieved:
more than a 50% average decrease in anxiety;
more than a 40% average decrease in depression.
These results were maintained according to a three-year follow-up study. These are remarkable outcomes for a relatively brief behavioral medicine program!
