With the increase in opioid use over the last decade, mind-body approaches to pediatric pain management have been trending. To date, there is limited research regarding the use of yoga with pediatric chronic pain. This study aims to gauge the effectiveness of group yoga as part of chronic pain rehabilitation and one's ability to continue practicing independently by exploring qualitative and quantitative information.
A single therapist used yoga as a group physical therapy intervention once a week for 60 minutes. Yoga education, iyengar yoga components, relaxation, and stretching were incorporated into the therapeutic yoga session. Qualitative and quantitative information was collected.
Qualitative outcomes provided valuable data about distractions and benefits. Quantitative outcomes showed that there were significant improvements in areas such as mental tension, emotional tension, muscle tension, and pain (all < 0.001 significant).
Pediatric chronic pain patients can identify many benefits after a single group yoga session. It combines the physical and cognitive aspects of interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation for continued use after discharge. The use of yoga is an economical means of physical activity after discharge to promote long-term benefits.
在过去十年中，随着阿片类药物使用的增加，身心疗法在儿科疼痛管理中呈上升趋势。迄今为止，关于瑜伽用于儿科慢性疼痛的研究有限。本研究旨在通过探索定性和定量信息，评估团体瑜伽作为慢性疼痛康复一部分的有效性以及个人独立持续练习的能力。
一名治疗师每周进行一次为期60分钟的团体瑜伽物理治疗干预。瑜伽教育、艾扬格瑜伽元素、放松和伸展被纳入治疗性瑜伽课程。收集定性和定量信息。
定性结果提供了关于干扰因素和益处的有价值数据。定量结果表明，在精神紧张、情绪紧张、肌肉紧张和疼痛等方面有显著改善（均P<0.001，具有显著性）。
儿科慢性疼痛患者在单次团体瑜伽课程后就能识别出许多益处。它将跨学科疼痛康复的身体和认知方面结合起来，便于出院后持续使用。瑜伽的使用是出院后促进长期益处的一种经济的身体活动方式。
