Dr. Tillisch is a pioneer in the study of microbe-gut-brain interactions, and is currently focusing on the role of mind-body interventions such as hypnotherapy, acupuncture, and mindfulness-based stress reduction for gastrointestinal disorders.

Mindfulness Training Improves IBS Symptoms, Quality of Life

Kirsten Tillisch, MD

SAN DIEGO - In this exclusive video from DDW 2016, Kirsten Tillisch, MD, from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and the G. Oppenheimer Center for Neurobiology of Stress and Resilience, discusses how mindfulness based stress reduction can improve IBS symptoms and quality of life. "Seventy percent of our patients with IBS had a ... clinically significant drop in symptoms," Tillisch said. "We also saw improvement in IBS-associated quality of life, anxiety, depression and the visceral sensitivity index. "Mindfulness is considered basically being in the present moment without judgment," she explained. "It's a simple concept but it's really hard for us in our society to learn how to do this." Reference: Tillisch K, et al. Abstract #Mo1640.
