 ====== Yoga ======
-[[Yoga]] has been shown to reduce [[pain]] and improve [[function]] in [[population]]s with [[chronic low back pain]] (cLBP), yet the underlying [[molecular mechanism]]s remain elusive. A study by Adhikari et al. examined the feasibility and acceptability of a yoga research protocol, including [[recruitment]], [[retention]], and [[data collection]], and investigated the preliminary effects of yoga on psychological and neurophysiological functions, including [[gene expression]] and [[DNA methylation]] profiles, in participants with cLBP.
-A [[single-arm trial]] was conducted with 11 participants with cLBP who enrolled in a 12-week yoga intervention. Data on subjective pain characteristics, quantitative sensory testing, and blood for analysis of differentially expressed genes and CpG methylation was collected prior to the start of the intervention and at study completion.
+see [[Yoga for Chronic Low Back Pain Treatment]].
-Based on pre-determined feasibility and acceptability criteria, the yoga intervention was found to be feasible and highly acceptable to participants. There was a reduction in pain severity, interference, and mechanical pain sensitivity post-yoga and an increase in emotion regulation and self-efficacy. No adverse reactions were reported. Differential expression analysis demonstrated that the yoga intervention induced increased expression of antisense genes, some of which serve as antisense to known pain genes. In addition, there were 33 differentially hypomethylated positions after yoga (log2 fold change ≥ 1), with enrichment of genes involved in NIK/NF-kB signaling, a major pathway that modulates immune function and inflammation.
-The study supports the feasibility and acceptability of the proposed protocol to test a specific mechanism of action for yoga in individuals with cLBP. These results also support the notion that yoga may operate through our identified psychological and neurophysiologic pathways to influence reduced [[pain intensity]] and interference
