#Yoga Intervention Is Associated with a Reduced Functional Abdominal Pain Frequency and Intensity, According to Clinical Trials

By Kyle J. Norton

According to studies from the online public medical library, yoga intervention may reduce risk and improve functional abdominal pain as a result of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders.

Functional abdominal pain is a condition of functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorders characterized by symptoms of pain associated with diarrhea and/or constipation

People with functional abdominal pain who participated in yoga classes are likely to experience less intensity of pain and pain frequency, some scientists suggested.

Yoga, the ancient technique for harmonized external and internal body wellbeings, 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.

In the study of 20 children, aged 8-18 years, with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or functional abdominal pain (FAP) who were enrolled and received 10 yoga lessons, researchers indicated the following results
*Yoga practice group of the 8-11-year-old group and the 11-18-year-old group expressed less pain frequency and the pain was significantly decreased at the end of therapy
*The same above group also expressed a significantly decreased pain intensity
*The pain frequency and intensity also were reduced after 3 months of yoga participation.


Further assessment of the study also found that yoga therapy also improves the quality of life score in all participants.

Although how yoga intervention in reduced abnormal pain is still unknown, some researchers suggested that it may be a result of yoga in initiated psychological effect in reduced correlation and interplayed of various aspects including physiological, psychological, and emotional factors which have been found to have strong implication in induction of abnormal pain.

More precisely, yoga mindfulness connected the physical body and mind and exerted a profound effect in decreasing stress in the induction of emotional instability such as anxiety, irritability and anger through relaxing the central nervous system in the production of certain hormones observed from the change of changes in gray matter concentration in brain regions involved in emotional regulation and arousal circuit, by MRI in the brain of children participated yoga.

Dr.Brands MM, the lead author said, "Yoga exercises are effective for children aged 8-18 years with FAP, resulting in a significant reduction of pain intensity and frequency, especially in children of 8-11 years old."

Additionally, in support of the above analysis, researchers at the joint study led by Jeroen Bosch Hospital conducted an experience of 69 patients, ages 8 to 18 years, with abdominal pain-related functional gastrointestinal disorders (AP-FGIDs), randomized to standard medical care (SMC) complemented with yoga therapy (YT) or SMC alone with YT is a mixture of yoga poses, meditation, and relaxation exercises and given once a week in group sessions and SMC consisted of education, reassurance, dietary advice, and fibers/mebeverine, if necessary illustrated that
*Yoga group expressed a significant decrease in Pain intensity (pain intensity score) and frequency (pain frequency score).

* Researchers also notice that after 12 months., during the study, the yoga group showed no significantly superior compared with SMC, but Subanalyses suggested otherwise (significantly greater reduction of PIS at 12 months in favor of YT).

* More importantly, yoga participants showed less school absence compared to the control


In the summary, Dr, Korterink JJ, the lead author concluded, "At 1-year follow-up, YT in addition to standard care was superior compared with SMC according to treatment success, PIS, and reduction of school absence".

Surprisingly, the yoga participated program created a self-consciousness between body and mind, by bringing back the presence and dealing with the event positive way, thus improving children's awareness of the symptom and actively seeking help from their physicians.

Contrastively, in further concern of the psychological effect of yoga on functional abdominal pain, Dr. Abbott RA, the led author of the joint study led by the University of Exeter Medical School, in the review of the literature of CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, eight other databases, and two trials registers with 18 randomized controlled trials (14 new to this version), reported in 26 papers, involving 928 children and adolescents with RAP between the ages of 6 and 18 years selected said, "yoga therapy compared to control, we found no evidence of effectiveness on (recurrent) pain intensity reduction post-intervention (SMD -0.31, 95% CI -0.67 to 0.05; Z = 1.69; P = 0.09; 3 studies; 122 children; low-quality evidence)".

Taking it all together, the findings suggested that yoga may be considered as a secondary intervention combined with standard therapy for the treatment of functional abdominal pain, and Yoga intervention may be effective in treating patients with recurrent functional abdominal pain.
