Arthritis, one of Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) degenerative disease, is a general term of joint inflammation, affecting over 21% of US population.

Yoga, the ancient technique practice for harmonized external and internal body well beings, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been best known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

Researchers at the Nursing Department, Bethesda, in the study of minor population and risk of arthritis by assigned each individual to an 8-week program of yoga classes, base on collecting patient-reported outcome measures related to spiritual growth, health responsibility, interpersonal relations, and stress management suggested that

* Minor population expressed that attending yoga classes designed for patients with arthritis, with racially concordant instructors may be the best acceptable use of yoga as an adjunct to standard arthritis treatment.
* Patients also stress that yoga may improve physical and mental well-being.
* Yoga participants may also experience positively change of physical function, anxiety/depression, fatigue, sleep disturbance, social roles, and pain.

Dr. Middleton KR, the led author said,"Adopting behaviors that improve well-being and quality of life include those that integrate mental health (mind) and physical health (body). Few studies have examined offering integrative modalities to this population".

Truly, yoga slow breathing and meditation calm the central nervous system in response to stress implication in production of stress hormone to stimulate the expression of inflammatory cytokine in precipitated symptoms of arthritis such as pain, swelling, thus alleviating physical symptoms in all aspects.

Psychologically, by relaxed the nervous system during stress also ameliorated hormone imbalanced in over production of stress hormone, such as cortisol,... sex hormones , such as estrogen and testosterone and thyroid hormone in induction of anxiety and depression as well as improved production of hormone melatonin made by the pineal gland in control awake and sleep.

 According to the findings of 9 studies satisfied the criteria, researchers found that
* 6 studies demonstrated the efficay of yoga in reduced both psychological or physiological symptoms related to arthritis.
* After adjusting other factors such as sample sizes, nonstandardized yoga intervention, not using behavioral theory, and having varying lengths, yoga may be used as a form of exercise in treating modality for arthritis.

And, the study of  in the review of peer-reviewed research from clinical trials (published from 1980 to 2010), using yoga as an intervention for arthritis and reported quantitative findings by the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.
