<p>Impact of daily yoga-based exercise on pain, catastrophizing, and sleep amongst individuals with fibromyalgia</p>

Abstract

BackgroundFibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic widespread pain disorder characterized by negative affect, sleep disturbance, and fatigue. This uncontrolled pilot study investigated the efficacy of daily yoga-based exercise to improve FM symptoms and explored baseline phenotypic characteristics associated with the greatest benefit.MethodsFM patients (n=46, with 36 completers) reported psychosocial functioning and a range of FM symptoms using validated instruments before and after participation in Satyananda yoga, which included weekly in-person pain-tailored group classes for 6 weeks and daily home yoga video practice.ResultsChanges in FM symptoms from pre- to post-yoga were variable amongst participants. Group means for pain decreased, as reported by average daily diary and Brief Pain Inventory, with greater home practice minutes associated with a greater decrease in pain. Average daily ratings of sleep and fatigue improved. Pain catastrophizing was decreased overall, with greater change correlated to a decrease in FM symptoms. We did not observe any group mean changes in actigraphy sleep efficiency, Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-anxiety and the Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire. Multilevel Modeling analysis revealed a significant interaction between anxiety and catastrophizing for end-study sleep efficiency, fatigue, and pain, such that patients with higher baseline catastrophizing and lower baseline anxiety reported less pain and fatigue, and higher sleep efficiency after the sixth week of yoga practice.ConclusionThis pilot study suggests that yoga may reduce pain and catastrophizing, as well as improve sleep, but these changes were modest across study participants. Greater uptake of home yoga practice as well as a phenotype of higher baseline catastrophizing combined with lower baseline anxiety were associated with greater impact. Future randomized, controlled trials comparing different types of yoga or exercise will allow determination of the most effective treatments for FM and allow closer targeting to the patients who will benefit most from them.

Effects of Sports Massage on the Physiological and Mental Health of College Students Participating in a 7-Week Intermittent Exercises Program

“…During the experimental period, both groups were tested to perform a 7-min intermittent exercise experiment, and their physical fitness performance, body composition, and body composition were monitored. The questionnaires were compiled with reference to the literature [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 ], and the subjects’ physical and mental health cognitions were continuously collected and validated by statistical validation using SPSS 26.0 statistical software. Lastly, all the information was gathered and integrated by a rigorous sequence of consolidation, organization, and analysis so as to finally construct the article [ 68 ] and analyze the results with multivariate verification [ 69 , 70 ].…”

“…Exercise can improve well-being [ 22 ], but exercise fatigue can also cause negative effects on physical and mental health [ 28 , 29 , 30 ]. Soreness or fatigue after exercise will affect sleep quality and daily life [ 31 ] and affect participants’ willingness to exercise or performance [ 32 ]. Therefore, if intermittent exercise is recommended to improve physical fitness for health, finding ways to resolve or relieve fatigue and restore exercise performance [ 31 , 33 , 34 , 35 ] will be instrumental to the willingness of university students to engage in intermittent exercise.…”

Yoga Meningkatkan Kualitas Hidup Pada Pasien Kanker: Literature Review

“…Pasien dapat melakukan latihan yoga rutin didalam rumah secara mandiri tanpa harus ada instruktur khusus (Downs, Miltenberger, Biedronski, & Witherspoon, 2015). Seiring dengan kemajuan teknologi dan informasi, siapapun dapat melakukan yoga dengan bantuan video tutorial yang dapat diakses pada media online seperti YouTube atau media lain yang familiar (Lazaridou et al, 2019). Caregiver di rumah atau tenaga kesehatan dapat memberikan pengawasan dan evaluasi selama proses latihan dengan menggunakan metode telenursing (Rezaei, Jalali, Heydarikhayat, & Salari, 1976).…”

Pre-Exercise Strategies: Effect of Yoga Poses on Various Intensities of Eccentric Exercise-Induced Pain and Functional Limitations

“…Yoga is widely practiced for health and relaxation. Performing yoga poses have tremendous health benefits like relief pain (8)(9)(10)(11)(12) and improve flexibility and balance (13), muscle strength (14,15), skeletal muscle oxygen uptake (16), and lung function (17) and many more. Yoga poses are recommended along with workout sessions at the gym.…”
