瑜伽是治疗疾病最广泛使用的补充和替代医学疗法之一。这项荟萃分析旨在确定瑜伽对癌症患者心理健康，生活质量和身体健康的影响。通过对七个电子数据库的系统搜索确定了研究，如果他们使用随机对照试验设计来检查瑜伽对癌症患者的影响，则选择这些研究。每篇文章的质量由两位作者使用PEDro量表进行评分。选择了10篇文章;其PEDro评分范围为4 - 7。瑜伽组与候补对照组或支持性治疗组相比，在心理健康方面表现出更大的改善：焦虑（P = .009），抑郁（P = .002），痛苦（P = .003）和压力（P = .006）。然而，由于混合和低至公平的质量和少量的研究进行，结果是初步的和有限的，应该通过更高质量的，随机对照试验证实。
Yoga is one of the most widely used complementary and alternative medicine therapies to manage illness. This meta-analysis aimed to determine the effects of yoga on psychological health, quality of life, and physical health of patients with cancer. Studies were identified through a systematic search of seven electronic databases and were selected if they used a randomized controlled trial design to examine the effects of yoga in patients with cancer. The quality of each article was rated by two of the authors using the PEDro Scale. Ten articles were selected; their PEDro scores ranged from 4 to 7. The yoga groups compared to waitlist control groups or supportive therapy groups showed significantly greater improvements in psychological health: anxiety (P = .009), depression (P = .002), distress (P = .003), and stress (P = .006). However, due to the mixed and low to fair quality and small number of studies conducted, the findings are preliminary and limited and should be confirmed through higher-quality, randomized controlled trials.
