Yoga may be used as an integrated form of exercise used in conjunction with standard therapy for reduced symptoms and treatment of arthritis, the University of Cincinnati study suggested.
Arthritis, one of the Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) degenerative disease, is a general term of joint inflammation, affecting over 21% of the US population.
Yoga, the ancient technique practice for harmonizing external and internal body well beings, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement, and gesture..... has been best known to people in the Western world and some parts of 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 assigned each individual to an 8-week program of yoga classes, based 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 a positive change in physical function, anxiety/depression, fatigue, sleep disturbance, social roles, and pain.
Dr. Middleton KR, the lead 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 the production of stress hormones to stimulate the expression of inflammatory cytokine in precipitated symptoms of arthritis such as pain, and swelling, thus alleviating physical symptoms in all aspects.
Psychologically, relaxing the nervous system during stress also ameliorated hormone imbalanced in the overproduction of stress hormones, such as cortisol,... sex hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone, and thyroid hormone in the induction of anxiety and depression as well as improved production of hormone melatonin made by the pineal gland in control awake and sleep.
Some researchers suggested that the above indications can be achieved by certain yoga postures practice as they can stimulate different parts of your body, organs, chakras, and the endocrine system in controlling the production of hormones and functioning.
Furthermore, yoga mindfulness also reconnected and rebalanced the mind and body, by bringing back the presence while letting, such stress or dealing with them in profound and positive ways, leading to actively engaging in healthy living and healthy lifestyle and eating and participating in social activity.
These results showed that yoga intervention has a strong impact on alleviating both psychological and physical aspects of patients with arthritis.
The above differentiation was supported by a study conducted by the University of Cincinnati, in the review literature between 2010 to June 2013 to examine whether yoga can be an efficacious approach for managing arthritis from Medline, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health, and Alt HealthWatch databases.
According to the findings of 9 studies satisfied the criteria, researchers found that
* 6 studies demonstrated the efficacy of yoga in reducing both psychological and 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 in the review of peer-reviewed research from clinical trials (published from 1980 to 2010), used yoga as an intervention for arthritis and reported quantitative findings by the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.
According to 11 studies selected, scientists indicated that
* Most studies provided some extended evidence in ameliorated disease symptoms, including (tender/swollen joints, pain) and disability, and improved self-efficacy and mental health
* Yoga was comparable to or better than that typical for exercise interventions
* After adjusting to other factors, interventions, research methods, and disease diagnoses, no adverse effects have been recorded
Taking all together, Yoga lessons may be the best form of integrated and safe exercise for attenuated symptoms of patients with arthritis.
