Yoga has been put to test in clinical medicine to build evidence. There has been a steep rise in yoga research through 2010, threefold in the next decade. Despite challenges, clinicians have explored yoga intervention in several disorders. The available data have been examined using meta-analysis when there are more studies. Psychiatric disorders treated with yoga have attracted more research. Some examples include depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), somatoform pain, addiction, mild cognitive impairment, and elderly and childhood disorders. Current manuscript focuses on highlighting the major steps towards generating evidence that have led to integration of yoga into psychiatry practice. It also discusses various challenges and the way forward.
瑜伽已在临床医学中接受检验以积累证据。到2010年,瑜伽研究急剧增加,在接下来的十年里增长了两倍。尽管存在挑战,临床医生仍在多种疾病中探索了瑜伽干预措施。当有更多研究时,可用数据会通过荟萃分析进行检验。用瑜伽治疗的精神疾病吸引了更多研究。一些例子包括抑郁症、精神分裂症、焦虑症、强迫症(OCD)、躯体形式疼痛、成瘾、轻度认知障碍以及老年和儿童疾病。当前的手稿重点强调了为将瑜伽纳入精神病学实践而积累证据的主要步骤。它还讨论了各种挑战以及未来的方向。
