Abstract

Purpose of review: Pediatric use of yoga as an integrative medicine modality has increased in prevalence over the last several decades. In this article, we review the available evidence for yoga in pediatric gastrointestinal disorders.

Recent findings: Evidence supports that in many pediatric disorders of gut brain interaction (DGBI), including irritable bowel syndrome, functional abdominal pain and functional dyspepsia, yoga decreases pain intensity and frequency and increases school attendance. Yoga has been shown to improve health-related quality of life and improve stress management as an effective adjunct to standard medical therapy in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Further studies are needed regarding optimal frequency, duration of practice and evaluation of the impact on IBD disease activity measures. Yoga may benefit pediatric gastroenterology patients with DGBIs and IBD through improving quality of life and reducing pain. Future yoga studies could investigate biomarkers and continued research will help integrate this modality into routine pediatric gastroenterology care.

小儿肠胃病学瑜伽。

综述目的：在过去的几十年中，儿科使用瑜伽作为一种综合医学模式的情况越来越普遍。在本文中，我们回顾了瑜伽治疗小儿胃肠道疾病的现有证据：有证据表明，对于肠易激综合征、功能性腹痛和功能性消化不良等多种小儿肠道脑交互障碍（DGBI），瑜伽可降低疼痛的强度和频率，提高入学率。瑜伽作为小儿炎症性肠病（IBD）标准药物疗法的有效辅助疗法，已被证明能改善与健康相关的生活质量并改善压力管理。关于练习的最佳频率、持续时间以及对 IBD 疾病活动指标影响的评估，还需要进一步研究。瑜伽可通过改善生活质量和减轻疼痛，使患有 DGBIs 和 IBD 的小儿肠胃病患者受益。未来的瑜伽研究可以调查生物标志物，持续的研究将有助于把这种方式纳入常规的儿科胃肠病治疗中。

期刊介绍： As the field of gastroenterology and hepatology rapidly evolves, the wealth of published literature can be overwhelming. The aim of the journal is to help readers stay abreast of such advances by offering authoritative, systematic reviews by leading experts. We accomplish this aim by appointing Section Editors who invite international experts to contribute review articles that highlight recent developments and important papers published in the past year. Major topics in gastroenterology are covered, including pediatric gastroenterology, neuromuscular disorders, infections, nutrition, and inflammatory bowel disease. These reviews provide clear, insightful summaries of expert perspectives relevant to clinical practice. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field.
