Abstract

Background: The purpose of this review was to evaluate the current body of literature on yoga in the pediatric oncology population. Considering the increasing number of studies on yoga indicating improvements in health-related quality of life (HRQL) among the adult oncology population, it is important to explore whether similar benefits have been found in pediatric oncology patients. Methods: CINAHL, Ovid MEDLINE, PsycINFO, PubMed, and Scopus were searched from the years 2010 through 2020 for studies assessing the use of yoga in children and adolescents affected by cancer. Considering the benefits of yoga on HRQL in the adult oncology population, the aim of this review was to evaluate the current body of literature on yoga in the pediatric cancer population. Results: Eight studies, all nonrandomized with single-arm designs, were reviewed. Five of the studies were designed as feasibility studies and while recruitment rates ranged from 34% to 55%, retention rates were ∼70%. Qualitative feedback from participants was very positive and themes related to both physical and psychological benefits. Certain measures of HRQL (i.e., anxiety, pain, and physical functioning) were found to be significantly improved following a yoga intervention. Discussion: Although no randomized clinical trials have been conducted to date on this important topic, the studies reviewed showed that delivering yoga to this population is feasible and safe. Additionally, preliminary findings on the impact of yoga for some of the common symptoms and treatment-related side effects experienced by children and adolescents affected by cancer are promising.

瑜伽在小儿肿瘤人群中的应用:文献综述。
背景:本综述的目的是评估目前关于儿科肿瘤人群中瑜伽的文献。考虑到越来越多的研究表明瑜伽可以改善成人肿瘤患者的健康相关生活质量(HRQL),探索是否在儿科肿瘤患者中发现类似的益处是很重要的。方法:检索2010年至2020年的CINAHL、Ovid MEDLINE、PsycINFO、PubMed和Scopus,以评估瑜伽在受癌症影响的儿童和青少年中的应用。考虑到瑜伽对成人肿瘤人群HRQL的益处,本综述的目的是评估目前关于儿科癌症人群瑜伽的文献。结果:回顾了8项研究,均为非随机单臂设计。其中5项研究被设计为可行性研究,而招募率从34%到55%不等,保留率为70%。参与者的定性反馈非常积极,主题涉及身体和心理上的好处。瑜伽干预后,HRQL的某些指标(即焦虑、疼痛和身体功能)得到了显著改善。讨论:尽管到目前为止还没有针对这一重要话题进行随机临床试验,但研究表明,向这一人群提供瑜伽是可行和安全的。此外,关于瑜伽对受癌症影响的儿童和青少年所经历的一些常见症状和治疗相关副作用的影响的初步发现是有希望的。
