It has been suggested that yoga has a positive effect on low back pain and function. The objective of this systematic review was to assess the effectiveness of yoga as a treatment option for low back pain. Seven databases were searched from their inception to March 2011. Randomized clinical trials were considered if they investigated yoga in patients with low back pain and if they assessed pain as an outcome measure. The selection of studies, data extraction and validation were performed independently by two reviewers. Seven randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) met the inclusion criteria. Their methodological quality ranged between 2 and 4 on the Jadad scale. Five RCTs suggested that yoga leads to a significantly greater reduction in low back pain than usual care, education or conventional therapeutic exercises. Two RCTs showed no between-group differences. It is concluded that yoga has the potential to alleviate low back pain. However, any definitive claims should be treated with caution.
有人认为瑜伽对腰痛和功能有积极影响。本系统评价的目的是评估瑜伽作为腰痛治疗选择的有效性。从建库到 2011 年 3 月，我们对 7 个数据库进行了检索。如果研究调查了瑜伽对腰痛患者的影响，并且评估了疼痛作为结局指标，我们就将其纳入随机临床试验。两名评审员独立地进行了研究选择、数据提取和验证。有 7 项随机对照临床试验（RCT）符合纳入标准。它们的 Jadad 量表评分在 2 到 4 分之间。5 项 RCT 表明瑜伽可显著减轻腰痛，优于常规护理、教育或常规治疗性运动。有 2 项 RCT 显示组间无差异。结论是瑜伽有缓解腰痛的潜力。然而，任何明确的结论都应谨慎对待。
