Meta-analyses were performed for short-term (immediately post-intervention to 1 month), medium-term (&gt;\u20091 to 3 months), and long-term (&gt;\u20093 months) follow-up periods. The certainty of evidence was evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach.

Meta-analyses indicated that compared to controls, psychosocial interventions significantly reduced CRF at short-term (standardised mean difference (SMD)\u2009=\u2009\u22120.53, 95% confidence interval (CI)\u2009=\u2009\u22120.82 to \u22120.23), medium-term (SMD\u2009=\u2009\u22120.51, 95%CI\u2009=\u2009\u22120.73 to \u22120.29), and long-term (SMD\u2009=\u2009\u22120.24, 95%CI\u2009=\u2009\u22120.46 to \u22120.01) follow-up. Subgroup analyses indicated that psycho-behavioural interventions were effective (SMD\u2009=\u2009\u22120.39, 95% CI\u2009=\u2009\u22120.76 to \u22120.01), while psychotherapy and yoga showed no significant effects.
