Autogenic training (AT) is a self-relaxation procedure by which a psychophysiological determined relaxation response is elicited. [] Key Result Seventy-three controlled outcome studies were found (published 1952–99). Sixty studies (35 randomized controlled trials [RCT]) qualified for inclusion in the meta-analysis. Medium-to-large effect sizes (ES) occurred for pre–post comparisons of disease-specific AT-effects, with the RCTs showing larger ES.
