Abstract

Depressive disorders are disabling conditions that account for high social costs. Pilates demonstrated to have several beneficial effects on health. Objective of this manuscript was to systematically review the literature about the effects of Pilates on depressive disorders. A bibliographic search was conducted in the main database sources (Pubmed, Medline, and Scopus). The inclusion criteria consisted of articles written in English language about the effectiveness of Pilates on depressive symptoms. Most of included studies are randomized controlled trials (10 out of 12). The available literature agrees in indicating that Pilates is effective in improving depressive symptoms especially when compared to inactivity and when this practice is administered for a medium-long period (8-16 weeks). In addition, Pilates seems to have at least comparable effectiveness than aerobic exercise. Pilates can be considered a reliable complementary treatment for people with depressive disorders. These findings should be interpreted considering the different types of practice administered as well as the different duration of the programs or rating scales used to assess mood symptoms. Studies with a more homogenous design are needed to confirm and make generalizable the results presented in this review.

普拉提能有效改善抑郁障碍吗？全面概述。

抑郁症是一种致残性疾病，造成的社会成本很高。普拉提被证明对健康有多种益处。本手稿旨在系统回顾有关普拉提对抑郁症影响的文献。我们在主要数据库来源（Pubmed、Medline 和 Scopus）中进行了文献检索。纳入标准包括用英语撰写的有关普拉提对抑郁症状影响的文章。大部分纳入的研究都是随机对照试验（12 项中的 10 项）。现有文献一致表明，普拉提能有效改善抑郁症状，尤其是与不运动相比，而且练习时间为中长期（8-16 周）。此外，普拉提的效果似乎至少与有氧运动相当。普拉提可被视为抑郁症患者的一种可靠的辅助治疗方法。在解释这些研究结果时，应考虑到所实施的不同练习类型、项目持续时间或用于评估情绪症状的评分量表的不同。要想证实本综述的结果并使其具有普遍性，还需要进行设计更加统一的研究。

期刊介绍： International Clinical Psychopharmacology provides an essential link between research and clinical practice throughout psychopharmacology. It reports on studies in human subjects, both healthy volunteers and patients, which relate the effects of drugs on psychological processes. A major objective of the journal is to publish fully refereed papers which throw light on the ways in which the study of psychotropic drugs can increase our understanding of psychopharmacology. To this end the journal publishes results of early Phase I and II studies, as well as those of controlled clinical trials of psychotropic drugs in Phase II and IV. Other topics covered include the epidemiology of psychotropic drug prescribing and drug taking, the sociology of psychotropic drugs including compliance, and research into the safety and adverse effects of these compounds.
