Mind-body intervention is a medical and pseudomedical intervention based on a thought idea that affects the physical body. This category was introduced in September 2000 by the United States National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), thus covering alternative treatment interventions. This does not include scientifically validated practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy.

In conventional medicine
All mind-body interventions focus on the interaction between brain, body, and behavior and are practiced with the intention to use the mind to change physical function and improve overall health and well-being.
However, the NCCIH does not consider mind-body interventions as within the scope of complementary and alternative medicine when there is sufficient scientific evidence to benefit those practices along with their professional application in conventional medicine. One of the practices that NCCIH defines as mind-body intervention is because it uses the mind's ability to affect body functions and symptoms, but for that there is sufficient scientific evidence and mainstream applications to fall beyond the scope of complementary and alternative medicine. cognitive behavioral therapy.
Alternate terms
Since 2008, the authors have documented research conducted on behalf of NCCIH using the terms "mind and body of practice" and "mind-body medicine" alternately with "mind-body interventions" to show both therapy and physical and mental rehabilitation practices that "focus on the relationship between brain, mind, body, and behavior, and its effects on health and disease. "and further proves the necessary professional competence among those who practice such practices, stating that" the practice of mind and body includes groups large or varied procedures or techniques that are managed or taught by trained practitioners or teachers ".

A list of examples of mind-body interventions currently provided by NCCIH are as follows:
