Chronic low back pain (CLBP) signficantly affects quality of life and productivity, leading to limitations in mobility, activity, and potential work absenteesim. Yoga and Ayurveda have shown promising evidence in reducing pain, improve function, and enhancing well-being for individuals with CLBP, as demonstrated by numerous studies.
The aim of this study is to assess the effect of a 1-week residential integrative approach to yoga therapy. (IAYT) alone versus when combined with Ayurveda therapy (Kati Basti) in patients with CLBP.
Forty patients were recruited from E-section of a holistic health center in South India for randomization and split into a Yoga and Ayurveda (n=20) and a Yoga-only (n=20) group. Yoga and Ayurveda group received a 1-week residential program combining Yoga and Ayurveda (therapy including Kati Basti with Ksheerbala Taila), while the Yoga-only group received only yoga therapy. Assessments at baseline, 1-week, and three months were measure pain intensity, disability, and depression.
Both Yoga and Ayurveda group, and Yoga-only group showed significant reductions in pain and improvements in disability and depression at 1-week and three months. Quality of life also improved, specifically in physical, social, environmental, and psychological health. No significant differences were found between the groups in terms of pain, disability, and depression.
Both interventions demonstrated comparable results in pain reduction and disability improvement, as well as alleviating depression symptoms. Only Yoga and Ayurveda group exhibited improvement in physical health. Further research should explore long-term effects and compare different yoga interventions.
慢性下腰痛（CLBP）严重影响生活质量和生产力，导致行动、活动受限，并可能出现旷工情况。众多研究表明，瑜伽和阿育吠陀疗法在减轻CLBP患者的疼痛、改善功能和增进幸福感方面显示出了有前景的证据。
本研究旨在评估为期1周的住院综合瑜伽疗法（IAYT）单独使用以及与阿育吠陀疗法（卡提巴斯蒂疗法）联合使用对CLBP患者的效果。
从印度南部一家整体健康中心的E区招募了40名患者进行随机分组，分为瑜伽与阿育吠陀组（n = 20）和仅瑜伽组（n = 20）。瑜伽与阿育吠陀组接受为期1周的住院项目，该项目结合了瑜伽和阿育吠陀疗法（包括使用克谢拉巴拉油的卡提巴斯蒂疗法），而仅瑜伽组只接受瑜伽疗法。在基线、1周和3个月时进行评估，测量疼痛强度、残疾程度和抑郁情况。
瑜伽与阿育吠陀组和仅瑜伽组在1周和3个月时疼痛均显著减轻，残疾程度和抑郁情况均有所改善。生活质量也得到了提高，特别是在身体、社会、环境和心理健康方面。两组在疼痛程度、残疾程度和抑郁方面未发现显著差异。
两种干预措施在减轻疼痛、改善残疾状况以及缓解抑郁症状方面都取得了相当的效果。只有瑜伽与阿育吠陀组在身体健康方面有所改善。进一步的研究应探索长期效果，并比较不同的瑜伽干预措施。
