“…Seven studies [ 9 , 10 , 12 , 13 , 18 , 22 , 23 ] with 141 patients evaluated the balance function of PD, among which 5 studies were assessed by BBS scores and 2 studies used the BESTest scale to evaluate the balance function. Compared with the control group, the pooled results showed that yoga intervention significantly promoted postural instability (SMD = 0.42; 95% CI, 0.08 to 0.77; P = 0.02).…”

“…Some randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have evaluated the impact of yoga on motor as well as nonmotor function in PD, but the results were controversial. Ni et al [ 9 ] and Bega and Stein [ 10 ] used Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and Timed “Up & Go” (TUG) test to evaluate the motor functions of PD patients, and significant improvement was observed after yoga exercise.

Background and Purpose. The manifestations of motor and nonmotor dysfunctions in Parkinson’s disease (PD), which are intimately connected, have been shown to reduce quality of life (QoL). It has been demonstrated that yoga could benefit PD patients. However, there was no consensus on the impact of yoga on PD. This meta-analysis is aimed at investigating the effects of yoga intervention on motor function, nonmotor function, and QoL in patients with PD. Methods. A meta-analysis was conducted by systematically searching PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases till August 2020 for studies published in English. The reference lists of eligible studies were also searched. The motor symptoms (UPDRS-Part III), balance function (BBS and BESTest), functional mobility (TUG), anxiety (HADS and BAI), depression (HADS and BDI), and the quality of life (PDQ-39 and PDQ-8) were the primary evaluation indexes. Results. Ten studies including 359 participants were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled results showed significant difference between the yoga training group and the control group. Patients in the yoga training group had better functional outcomes in terms of motor status ( MD = − 5.64 ; 95% CI, -8.57 to -2.7), balance function ( SMD = 0.42 ; 95% CI, 0.08 to 0.77), functional mobility ( MD = − 1.71 ; 95% CI, -2.58 to -0.84), anxiety scale scores ( SMD = − 0.72 ; 95% CI, -1.01 to -0.43), depression scale scores ( SMD = − 0.92 ; 95% CI, -1.22 to -0.62), and QoL ( SMD = − 0.54 ; 95% CI, -0.97 to -0.11). Conclusion. Our pooled results showed the benefits of yoga in improving motor function, balance, functional mobility, reducing anxiety and depression, and increasing QoL in PD patients.

“…Although a small number of studies found yoga to be beneficial to psychological well-being and aspects of quality of life in PD [ 16 , 18 ], current evidence on the non-motor benefits of yoga in PD remains unclear. The finding on the effect of yoga on sleep is inconclusive.…”

“…Four randomized controlled trials (RCT) of yoga in PD patients were located [ 16 – 19 ]. Although all showed positive therapeutic benefit of yoga in managing motor function and non-motor functions, these studies had methodological limitations including the lack of blinding [ 19 ], randomization issues [ 17 ], small sample sizes [ 16 – 18 ], and none examined oxidative stress as an outcome or long-term yoga adherence. The purpose of this pilot RCT study was to examine the feasibility, acceptability including yoga adherence after the intervention, and preliminary effects of Hatha yoga on oxidative stress, motor function, and non-motor symptoms among individuals with PD.…”

ObjectiveTo examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of Hatha yoga on oxidative stress, motor function, and non-motor symptoms among individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD).MethodsThe study has a pilot randomized controlled trial design with two arms: an immediate treatment group and a wait-list control group. The yoga-for-PD program was implemented via twice weekly 60-min group-based classes for 12 weeks. Participants were assessed at baseline, 12 weeks, and 6 months post-intervention. Outcome measures included oxidative stress, motor function, physical activity, cognitive function, sleep quality, and quality of life. Data on program acceptability and yoga adherence were collected during the intervention and at 6 months post-intervention.ResultsParticipants (n = 20) had a mean age of 63 years (SD 8, range 49–75) and disease duration 4.8 years (SD 2.9, range 1–13). All participants had mild-moderate disease severity; 18 (90%) were on dopaminergic medications. Seventeen participants (85%) attended at least 75% of the classes and 4 (20%) attended all classes. Most participants (n = 17) reported they “definitely enjoyed” the intervention program. No adverse events were reported. At 12 weeks, there were no major differences in blood oxidative stress markers between the two groups. Motor function based on the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale was better in the treatment group, but their scores on sleep and outlook in Parkinson’s Disease Quality of Life (PDQUALIF) Scale and the physical activity levels based on the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam Physical Activity Questionnaire were worse than those of the control group. In within-group comparisons, motor function, cognitive function, and catalase improved but three PDQUALIF domains (social and role function, sleep, and outlook) and physical activity level worsened by the end of the yoga intervention program compared to baseline. The response rate for the 6-month follow-up survey was 74% (n = 14) with six participants (43%) who signed up for a yoga class and four (29%) who practiced it independently. Health problems were the main barrier to yoga practice.ConclusionYoga is feasible and acceptable and may serve as a complementary method for improving motor function in PD. Further research using a larger sample size is needed to determine its impact on oxidative stress and non-motor symptoms.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Registration Number: NCT02509610031.
