Sporttherapiein der Behandlung somatoformer Beschwerden

Ein Literaturüberblick

Published Online:March 02, 2015https://doi.org/10.1026/1612-5010.16.4.117

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, einen Überblick über den bisherigen empirischen Forschungsstand zur Wirksamkeit der Sporttherapie bei somatoformen Beschwerden zu geben. Auf Grund des defizitären Forschungsstandes bei somatoformen Beschwerden im engeren Sinne werden auch Studien zur Sporttherapie bei Fibromyalgie, dem chronischen Müdigkeitssyndrom und dem Reizdarmsyndrom berücksichtigt. Für die Fibromyalgie und das chronische Müdigkeitssyndrom ist die Wirksamkeit von Sporttherapie als evidenzbasiert anzusehen. Gute Evidenzen liegen für ein sporttherapeutisches Angebot vor, welches entweder ein Ausdauer- oder ein Kombinationstraining (Ausdauer und Stretching/Krafttraining) beinhaltet. Für somatoforme Beschwerden im engeren Sinne ist der Forschungsstand zum gegenwärtigen Zeitpunkt zu gering, um eine abschließende Aussage treffen zu können. Implikationen für weiteren Forschungsbedarf werden dargelegt.


Physical exercise in the treatment of somatoform symptoms: A literature review

Abstract. This paper reviews current knowledge regarding the effectiveness of physical exercise in patients with somatoform symptoms. Due to the limited number of studies on somatoform disorders, we included physical exercise treatment studies on fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and irritable bowel syndrome. There is sound evidence for the effectiveness of a physical exercise treatment for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. The physical exercise treatment for these syndromes should consist of aerobic exercise or a combination of aerobic exercise and strength or stretching training. For patients with general somatoform symptoms, the results of current research are inconclusive. Therefore further research for this group is required.
