A prospective, controlled multisite trial of yoga in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease.
Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition 2023 December 28
AIM: To investigate whether a structured yoga program improves health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and self-efficacy in pediatric patients receiving care for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
METHODS: IBD patients who were 10-17 years old participated in a 12 week, in-person yoga intervention at two clinical sites. Outcomes were measured at time of consent (T0), start of yoga (T1), and completion of yoga (T2) and 3 months after yoga completion (T3) using the IMPACT-III, Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL), and General Self Efficacy (GSE) scales.
RESULTS: Seventy-eight patients were enrolled. Fifty-six patients completed nine or more classes. 73.2% had Crohn's disease and 26.8% ulcerative colitis or IBD-unclassified. A significant increase in IMPACT-III was seen from T1 to T3 (mean change of 5.22, SD = 14.33, p = 0.010), in the PedsQL (mean change = 2.3, SD = 10.24, p = 0.050), and GSE (mean change = 1, SD = 3.60, p = 0.046). 85.2% of patients reported yoga helped them to control stress. Long-term data was available for 47 subjects with 31.9% (n = 15) continuing to practice yoga one to 3 years after study completion.
CONCLUSION: This structured 12-week yoga program showed significant improvements in HRQOL and general self-efficacy, particularly 3 months after classes were concluded suggesting that yoga's benefits may persist. Yoga is a safe and effective adjunct to standard medical care to improve QOL and self-efficacy in youth with IBD.
