Prenatal Yoga as Complementary Therapy of Preeclampsia

Prenatal Yoga Implementation As Complementary Therapy Of Preeclampsia Of Pregnant Woman At Puskesmas And Mandiri Practice Midwives In Palembang City

Preeclampsia is a specific pregnancy disorder that complicates approximately 3-5% of all pregnancies. The effects on pregnant women vary from mild hypertension, severe hypertension / hypertensive crisis, eclampsia to hemolysis syndrome, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count (HELLP), while the impact of these abnormalities on the fetus also varies from preterm birth, stunted fetal growth (CHD) to fetal death. The initial cause of preeclampsia is still unknown, recent developments explain the molecular mechanisms behind its manifestations and especially abnormal development, placental hypoxia, endothelial dysfunction. Prenatal yoga (yoga for pregnancy) is a modification of classical yoga which has been adapted to the physical condition of pregnant women which is done with a more gentle and slow intensity. Rakhsani A, et al., (2012) suggested that the positive effects of yoga for pregnant women are reducing occure of hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes as well as cases of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of prenatal yoga on reducing preeclampsia. This study was an experimental study that used pre and post-test mechanisms (paired test) with Yoga exercise treatment.

Yoga-based Group Therapy for In-patients With Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders - YING

Yoga-based Group Therapy for In-Patients With Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorder - Feasibility, Acceptability, and Preliminary Outcomes of a Rater-Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial

A rater-blinded randomized controlled trial with a parallel-group design is utilized, comprised of yoga-based group therapy (YBGT) in the experimental condition, and treatment as usual (TAU) in the control condition. The participants in the experimental condition participate in YBGT beside their regular psychiatric treatment (TAU). The intervention is designed for in-patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. With the aim of examining the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness, self-report and blinded rater-based assessments are evaluated before the YBGT (T0), and after four weeks of taking part in intervention (T1).

Group Acupuncture Therapy With Modified Yoga - GAPYOGA

Group Acupuncture Therapy With Modified Yoga for Chronic Neck, Low Back and OA Pain in Safety Net Setting for an Underserved Population (GAPYoga)

Chronic pain is prevalent in the U.S., with impact on physical and psychological functioning as well as lost work productivity. Minority and lower socioeconomic populations have increased prevalence of chronic pain with less access to pain care and poorer outcomes. Acupuncture therapy is effective in treating chronic pain conditions including chronic low back pain (cLBP), neck pain, shoulder pain and knee pain from osteoarthritis (OA). Acupuncture therapy, including group acupuncture, is feasible and effective, and specifically so for underserved and diverse populations at risk for health outcome disparities. Acupuncture therapy also encourages patient engagement and activation. As chronic pain improves there is a natural progression to want and need to increase activity and movement recovery. Diverse movement approaches are important both for improving range of motion, maintaining gains, strengthening and promoting patient engagement and activation. Yoga therapy is an active therapy with proven benefit in musculoskeletal pain disorders and pain associated disability. The aim of this pilot feasibility trial is to test the bundling of these two care options for chronic pain, to inform both the design for a larger randomized pragmatic effectiveness trial as well as implementation strategies across underserved settings.

The Impact of Yoga-based Physical Therapy for Individuals With Traumatic Brain Injury

The Impact of Yoga-based Physical Therapy on Heart Rate Variability for Individuals With Traumatic Brain Injury: a Pilot Study

This study aims to explore if a yoga-based physical therapy session would promote improved (increased) heart rate variability in subjects with traumatic brain injuries. The results of this pilot study may inform a larger-scale study of the effects of regular participation in a yoga-based program as an adjunct to traditional physical therapy. The secondary objective is to determine whether a yoga-based physical therapy session would impact anxiety, fatigue, or agitation and/or sleep quality. The study will enroll up to 30 inpatient subjects on a rolling basis as they are admitted with traumatic brain injury over a 12 month period at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab. Each person in the study will participate in three conditions in a random order across three days: 1 hour of yoga-based physical therapy session in a group setting,1 hour of one-on-one conventional physical therapy, and 1 hour of seated rest in a relaxing environment in a group setting. The hypothesis is that individuals who participate in 1 hour of a yoga-based physical therapy session in a group setting will demonstrate a significant improvement in heart rate variability, anxiety, fatigue, and agitation after the session when compared to the same measures after 1 hour of a conventional physical therapy session and 1 hour of seated rest in a relaxing environment. Sleep will also be assessed with an activity monitor.

Merging Yoga and Occupational Therapy for Parkinson Disease: Phase 2 - MY-OT for PD

Merging Yoga and Occupational Therapy for Parkinson Disease: Phase 2

The full program is focused on identifying and reducing risk factors surrounding falls. Based on previous research, we believe that occupational therapy group classes and adaptive yoga are an ideal pairing to reduce fall risk. The occupational therapy sessions will consist of lecture, group discussion, and activities designed to target biological, behavioral, environmental, and socioeconomic factors that contribute to fall risk specifically for people with Parkinson's disease.

Yoga and Occupational Therapy to Improve Pain - YoPain

Yoga and Occupational Therapy to Improve Pain

This was a randomized control trial of a yoga and self-management intervention for individuals with chronic pain. Participants were assigned to either a wait-list control group (self-management only), or a yoga intervention (self-management and yoga). Self-management education session occurred monthly within the community. Group yoga intervention was delivered two times a week with a specifically designed program that was progressively more difficult. Assessments were then administered pre and post intervention, and a semi-structured interview was completed following the intervention. Quantitative and qualitative data were then compared between groups.

Impact of Yoga As Complementary Therapy in Patients Undergoing Radical Prostatectomy

Impact of Yoga As Complementary Therapy on Quality of Life, Pro-inflammatory, and Cellular Immune Biomarkers in Patients Undergoing Radical Prostatectomy: A Pilot Randomized-Controlled Trial

The researchers hope to learn if yoga complementary therapy would improve health-related quality of life, recovery of urinary continence and erectile function in patients who underwent prostate cancer surgery (i.e. radical prostatectomy). We hypothesized that in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy, preoperative and postoperative Yoga complementary therapy would improve health- related quality of life (HRQOL), recovery of urinary continence and erectile function. This two-arm, randomized controlled pilot study will compare Yoga intervention to usual care group. The aim is to evaluate the efficacy of Yoga complementary therapy on HRQOL in patients who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP). Yoga therapy will be given to the intervention group three times in a week for 6 weeks prior to surgery and then initiated 3 weeks after the surgery for another 6 weeks. The yoga exercise will be tailored to the participant's comfort level. As an exploratory analysis, we will evaluate pro-inflammatory and immunological markers.

Study of Yoga as a Therapy for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Patients

Yoga as a Therapy for Adolescents and Young Adults With Cystic Fibrosis: A Pilot Study

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a lung disease that affects 30,000 children and adults in the US. Incorporation of regular exercise into the lives of patients with CF is of interest because it may improve lung function and quality of life. Yoga is an activity that may benefit patients with CF in many ways including strengthening muscles of breathing, improving lung function, and reducing stress which could improve quality of life and adherence to therapies. Yoga has been shown to be beneficial in patients with other lung diseases such as asthma, but has not yet been studied in CF. The investigators hypothesize that yoga will be an activity that is safe and tolerable for CF patients 12 to 25 years of age. The primary aim is to investigate the safety and tolerability of an 8 week yoga program for patients with CF. The secondary aim is to determine the effect of yoga on many aspects of CF disease including respiratory symptoms, adherence to regular CF therapies, quality of life, lung function, exercise tolerance, and nutritional status. The long-term goal is to use the data obtained in this study to design a future study of the efficacy of yoga in a larger population of CF patients at multiple CF centers. This research has the potential to influence the prevention and treatment of CF by providing data which could be used to help understand the most appropriate and beneficial type of physical activity for CF patients.

Yoga as a Therapy for Traumatic Experiences

Yoga as an Adjunctive Therapy for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: A Feasibility Study

The purpose of the proposed research is to conduct a feasibility study of yoga as an adjunctive therapy for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in 15 military personnel at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) in Washington, DC. Participants will complete 10 weeks of yoga training, in addition to the continuing their usual and customary care for PTSD at WRAMC. The style of yoga chosen for this study, Yoga Nidra, uses deep relaxation, deep breathing and meditation to systematically reduce physical, emotional, mental, and even subconscious tension. After a diagnostic mental health assessment at baseline, participants will attend a total of 18 classes taught over a 10-week period and will practice daily at home using a compact disk provided by the instructor. Baseline measures will include the Patient Health Questionnaire, PD-HAT Trauma Questions, PTSD Symptom Scale - Interview, Fear of Loss of Vigilance Scale, and expectation of efficacy. The primary outcome measure will be the PTSD Checklist. Changes in health status, locus of control, and pain will be assessed over the course of the study. An additional goal of this study is to gather preliminary data on the anticipated effect size and feasibility of conducting a larger clinical study of the adjunctive use of yoga for the treatment of PTSD symptoms in enlisted military personnel.
