Restorative Yoga for Therapy of the Metabolic Syndrome: A Pilot Trial
We tested the following hypotheses: 1. That a standardized yoga therapy will improve insulin sensitivity (primary outcome), and other features of the metabolic syndrome such as hypertension and dyslipidemia (secondary outcomes), we will perform a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test, fasting blood tests, and a physical examination before and after randomization of subjects to a 10-week yoga therapy intervention or wait-list control group. 2. That a yoga therapy is feasible in overweight and underactive individuals with the metabolic syndrome, that adherence to a yoga intervention is acceptable, and that yoga therapy is associated with improved quality of life, we will assess the adherence to twice-weekly yoga group sessions (for weeks1-5) and weekly yoga group sessions (for weeks 6-10), frequency of home yoga therapy practice, and self-reported quality of life before and after the intervention in both treatment groups. 3. To elucidate a potential mechanism for the effect of yoga on changes in insulin resistance by evaluating markers of inflammation from adipose tissue (adipocytokines). We hypothesize that these biochemical parameters will show modest improvement with yoga therapy and that changes in these parameters will be associated with improvements in insulin sensitivity.

A Randomized, Open-labelled, Controlled Trial Evaluating the Efficacy of a Physical Therapy-yoga-patient Educational Program for Breast Cancer Patients With Pain Due to Hormonal Therapy Treatment.
As much as 50% of patients treated with hormonotherapy (HT) for breast cancer (BC) suffer from osteoarticular pain during treatment. Secondary effects have become a real issue because of their consequences on the patients' quality of life, but also on treatment efficacy and survival when they induce dose reduction or premature withdrawal of treatment. Additional medicines (acupuncture, hypnosis, yoga) have become more and more popular these last years. 48 to 80% of patients with BC eventually choose them. A review comparing efficacy of various therapies to decrease osteoarticular pain concludes to a highest efficacy of anti-inflammatory treatments, paracetamol and yoga. It thus appears innovative to complete this care with a patient educational project (PEP) in postural yoga instructed by a trained physical therapist, which will enable patients to practice yoga postures at home by themselves. The investigators conducted a pilot study "SKYPE" with 24 algic patients treated with HT after BC, whose results are very promising. The investigators now propose in the continuity of the pilot study a multicenter randomized controlled study comparing the efficacy of SKYPE care on pain reduction, an educative care combining physical therapy and yoga, to a control group in patients treated with HT for a BC with osteoarticular and/or musculoskeletal pain. Furthermore, in order to examine whether yoga interventions may influence inflammation through their effects on the level of a wide range of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines (30), the investigators will Change in circulating cytokines' level between baseline level (T0) and post-treatment level (T2) in both groups will be analyzed and if so correlation will be established.

The Effect of Telerehabilitation-Based Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach and Yoga on Pain, Physical Function and Quality of Life in Adolescents With Dysmenorrhoea
Dysmenorrhoea is a condition that negatively affects the quality of life in women of many age groups. In girls with dysmenorrhoea in adolescence, there is an effect on school performance, self-confidence-depression problems and a decrease in quality of life due to pain. In order to eliminate these negative effects, they should receive a good treatment. Medical treatment usually tries to minimise and balance this situation. Considering the fact that families do not want to use drugs such as oral contraceptives in their children at this age and the risks of oral contraceptives, parents are in different searches. Considering that the approach to pain should always be from a holistic perspective, yoga and cognitive exercise therapy approaches are both biopsychosocial treatment methods within the scope of mind-body integrity. Yoga and cognitive exercise therapy approach is thought to reduce symptoms, improve physical functions and quality of life in adolescent girls. With these positive effects, school absenteeism decreases, depression and self-confidence improve. Health costs will also be reduced to some extent.

Back Pain Management in AIS: Yoga vs Physical Therapy
Targeting non-operative Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) patients, including those who are braced and non-braced, this research project at Johns Hopkins Hospital seeks to revolutionize the treatment approach for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. This innovative study compares traditional physical therapy with a yoga-based intervention, focusing on alleviating back pain and enhancing quality of life in this specific patient group. This research is anchored in substantial existing evidence that highlights the physiological and psychological benefits of yoga and is in alignment with current AIS treatment strategies. Addressing the urgent need for diverse non-operative management strategies for AIS, this study is particularly timely given the challenges in accessing physical therapy and the growing concerns over opioid use. The investigators exploration of structured yoga protocols aims to introduce a viable alternative therapy, providing significant relief and improving the quality of life for AIS patients who are not candidates for surgery. By integrating cutting-edge healthcare solutions with the increasing interest in yoga in the U.S., this project aims to establish a new benchmark in non-surgical AIS treatment that is both effective and accessible to a wide range of patients

Prevention Program of Innovative Physiotherapy Techniques in People With a Physical Neurological Disease: Oculomotor therapy and Adapted Yoga
Physiotherapy is a discipline which englobe not only the rehabilitation of physical pathologies but also their prevention. That is why this study pretends to upgrade this part of the physical therapy specialty while prove new therapies using innovation technologies in people with any physical neurological disease. The main problem that this study pretends to solve is the necessity of develop new activities to improve quality of life and integration in people with any physical neurological disease. People with any neurological disease used to present visual problems, pain, fatigue, functional dependence, and a bad quality of life and it appears that exercise habits could improve all these deficiencies. However, how could people with any physical neurological disease participate in an integrated way in nowadays physical activities? The main objective of this study is to prove the effectiveness on visual acuity, quality of life, pain decreasing, functional independence and fatigue of physical therapy modalities in people with any physical neurological disease. The experiment will take part with 128 participants, divided equally in control and experimental groups. Both are going to receive adapted yoga sessions but only experiment group is going to test oculomotor therapy. Descriptive investigation would take part at the end of the intervention to analyze all results.
