Pediatric use of yoga as an integrative medicine modality has increased in prevalence over the last several decades. In this article, we review the available evidence for yoga in pediatric gastrointestinal disorders.
Evidence supports that in many pediatric disorders of gut brain interaction (DGBI), including irritable bowel syndrome, functional abdominal pain and functional dyspepsia, yoga decreases pain intensity and frequency and increases school attendance. Yoga has been shown to improve health-related quality of life and improve stress management as an effective adjunct to standard medical therapy in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Further studies are needed regarding optimal frequency, duration of practice and evaluation of the impact on IBD disease activity measures. Yoga may benefit pediatric gastroenterology patients with DGBIs and IBD through improving quality of life and reducing pain. Future yoga studies could investigate biomarkers and continued research will help integrate this modality into routine pediatric gastroenterology care.
过去几十年，儿科将瑜伽作为一种整体医学模式的应用日益普及。本文综述了瑜伽在儿科胃肠道疾病中的应用证据。
有证据表明，在许多胃肠道-大脑互动障碍（DGBI）疾病中，包括肠易激综合征、功能性腹痛和功能性消化不良，瑜伽可降低疼痛强度和频率，提高出勤率。瑜伽已被证明可改善与健康相关的生活质量，并改善压力管理，是小儿炎症性肠病（IBD）标准药物治疗的有效辅助手段。还需要进一步研究瑜伽的最佳频率、持续时间以及对 IBD 疾病活动指标的影响。瑜伽可能通过改善生活质量和减轻疼痛使患有 DGBI 和 IBD 的儿科胃肠病患者受益。未来的瑜伽研究可以探索生物标志物，持续的研究将有助于将这种模式整合到常规的儿科胃肠病护理中。
