This literature review presents a bibliometric analysis of the randomized controlled trials conducted between 2014 and 2023 on the potential benefits of yoga as a complementary therapy for cancer patients. To conduct this analysis, we searched medical and scientific databases, such as Scopus, Cochrane, and PubMed, using relevant keywords. Our search yielded 58 clinical trials involving 4,762 patients, which indicates a growing trend in this field of research. The studies we reviewed mainly focused on breast cancer patients and demonstrated the adaptability and versatility of yoga, offering a ray of hope and optimism. Among the various styles of yoga, Hatha yoga was the most frequently practiced style in these clinical trials. The analysis we conducted reveals that yoga interventions have a promising role in cancer care and can be a valuable complementary therapy for cancer patients. However, significant gaps and limitations still need to be addressed in this area of research. For instance, more rigorous and diverse investigations are needed to further establish the potential benefits of yoga interventions for cancer patients. Additionally, the standardization of yoga interventions is crucial to optimize therapeutic benefits. By addressing these gaps and limitations, we can further enhance the potential of yoga as a complementary therapy for cancer patients.
本文献综述对2014年至2023年间进行的关于瑜伽作为癌症患者辅助疗法的潜在益处的随机对照试验进行了文献计量分析。为进行此分析,我们使用相关关键词搜索了医学和科学数据库,如Scopus、Cochrane和PubMed。我们的搜索产生了58项涉及4762名患者的临床试验,这表明该研究领域呈增长趋势。我们审查的研究主要集中在乳腺癌患者身上,并展示了瑜伽的适应性和多功能性,带来了一线希望和乐观情绪。在各种瑜伽风格中,哈他瑜伽是这些临床试验中最常练习的风格。我们进行的分析表明,瑜伽干预在癌症护理中具有广阔前景,可为癌症患者提供有价值的辅助疗法。然而,该研究领域仍存在重大差距和局限性需要解决。例如,需要更严格、多样的调查来进一步确定瑜伽干预对癌症患者的潜在益处。此外,瑜伽干预的标准化对于优化治疗效果至关重要。通过解决这些差距和局限性,我们可以进一步提高瑜伽作为癌症患者辅助疗法的潜力。
