TL;DR: A 2001 systematic review of the effects of these training interventions for healthcare providers that aim to promote patient-centred care in clinical consultations was updated by as discussed by the authors, who found 29 new randomized trials (up to June 2010), bringing the total of studies included in the review to 43.

TL;DR: Providing a comprehensive treatment plan for chronic, high-utilizing MUS patients removes one barrier to treating this common problem effectively in primary care by primary care personnel.

TL;DR: This article identified patient-centered articles among all reported randomized controlled trials (RCTs), identifying those with specific behaviorally defined interventions; identifying commonalities among the behavioral definitions; and evaluating the relationship of the well-defined RCTs to patient outcomes.

TL;DR: The chart rating method developed here offered research potential for identifying MUS patients, for quantifying their medical comorbidities, and for classifying MUS subgroups and supports the validity of this newly reported MAI syndrome.

TL;DR: There is evidence suggesting that active participation of patients in their health care can improve the quality of care and decrease health‐care costs.
