Abstract

Background and objectives: Work-related musculoskeletal pain and discomfort are due to repetitive, unnatural, continuous movements and postures. Yoga therapy is beneficial for pain and disability in occupational settings. The current study aims to investigate the effect of yoga on musculoskeletal pain, stress, and sleep quality among industry workers.

Methodology: The study was conducted as a parallel randomized controlled open-label trial. An allocation ratio of 1:1 was followed for randomization. A health survey was used to recruit 90 male workers in machinery manufacturing industries from Bengaluru. A specially designed yoga module was administered five days a week for eight weeks to yoga group. The waitlisted control group received lifestyle suggestions. Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were administered at baseline, at the fourth week and eighth weeks. Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance (RM-ANOVA) was conducted to elicit the group*time interactions.

Results: Ninety participants (Yoga = 45, Control = 45) with age 40.57 ± 6.85 were randomized. Significant interactions were found in CMDQ, VAS, PSS and PSQI scores. Further, between group comparison demonstrate significant difference between the groups at the end of 8 weeks for CMDQ, VAS and PSS scores.

Conclusions: Yoga can be used to reduce musculoskeletal pain, discomfort, perceived stress and improve sleep quality among industry workers.

瑜伽治疗行业工人肌肉骨骼疼痛、不适、感知压力和睡眠质量：一项随机对照试验。

背景和目的：与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疼痛和不适是由于重复、不自然、连续的动作和姿势造成的。瑜伽疗法对职业环境中的疼痛和残疾是有益的。目前的研究旨在调查瑜伽对行业工人肌肉骨骼疼痛、压力和睡眠质量的影响。方法：本研究采用平行随机对照开放标签试验。按照1:1的分配比例进行随机化。一项健康调查从班加罗尔招募了90名机械制造行业的男性工人。一个专门设计的瑜伽模块每周五天，给瑜伽组持续八周。被列入候补名单的对照组接受了生活方式建议。康奈尔大学肌肉骨骼不适问卷（CMDQ）、感知压力量表（PSS）和匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）在基线、第四周和第八周进行。进行重复测量方差分析（RM-ANOVA）以引发组*时间交互作用。结果：90名参与者（瑜伽 = 45，控制 = 45岁），年龄40.57岁 ± 6.85人随机分组。CMDQ、VAS、PSS和PSQI评分之间存在显著的交互作用。此外，组间比较显示，在8周结束时，两组在CMDQ、VAS和PSS评分方面存在显著差异。结论：瑜伽可用于减轻行业工人的肌肉骨骼疼痛、不适、感知压力和改善睡眠质量。试验注册号：CTRI/2022/03/040894。
