Depression has been expected to be the second-leading cause of disability, followed by autism, attention and hyperactivity disorder, and learning disorder. Yoga therapy has found to be beneficial in managing psychiatric disorders.
The present study undertakes a scoping review of research on yoga therapy in psychiatric disorders among children and adolescents.
Online database was used to identify papers published 2004-2023, from which we selected 11 publications from the United States, Canada, Iran, India, and Australia that used yoga therapy as a primary outcome variable among participants aged 3 years or older.
The papers reviewed were randomized controlled trials. All studies examined yoga therapy, but one study used mindfulness-based therapy and used few techniques of yoga therapy. The studies examined the effect of yoga therapy on early childhood and adolescence on various psychiatric symptoms such as stress, inattention, hyperactivity, anxiety, depression, and many more.
While the quality of studies is generally high, research on yoga therapy among children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders would benefit from careful selection of methods and reference standards, suitability for yoga therapy, and prospective cohort studies linking early childhood exposures with yoga therapy outcomes throughout childhood and adolescence.
抑郁症预计将成为导致残疾的第二大原因，其次是自闭症、注意力缺陷多动障碍和学习障碍。瑜伽疗法已被发现对治疗精神疾病有益。
本研究对儿童和青少年精神疾病的瑜伽疗法研究进行了范围综述。
使用在线数据库识别2004年至2023年发表的论文，从中我们从美国、加拿大、伊朗、印度和澳大利亚选择了11篇将瑜伽疗法作为3岁及以上参与者主要结果变量的出版物。
所审查的论文均为随机对照试验。所有研究都考察了瑜伽疗法，但有一项研究使用了基于正念的疗法，且仅采用了很少的瑜伽疗法技术。这些研究考察了瑜伽疗法对幼儿期和青少年期各种精神症状的影响，如压力、注意力不集中、多动、焦虑、抑郁等等。
虽然研究质量总体较高，但针对患有精神疾病的儿童和青少年的瑜伽疗法研究将受益于仔细选择方法和参考标准、适合瑜伽疗法以及将幼儿期接触与整个儿童期和青少年期瑜伽疗法结果联系起来的前瞻性队列研究。
