Mind–body interventions is the name of a U.S. National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) classification that covers a variety of techniques designed to enhance the mind's capacity to affect bodily function and symptoms.[citation needed]

Many of these techniques are best described as alternative medicine, including meditation, prayer, mental healing, movement re-education, and therapies that use creative outlets such as art, music, or dance.[citation needed]

Others have now become mainstream (for example, patient support groups and cognitive-behavioral therapy).
