Abstract

Background and objectives

Musculoskeletal pain and discomfort at the workplace are closely associated with prolonged, repetitive, continuous, and unnatural movements. Yoga as mind-body medicine has been shown to reduce pain and disability. The current study aims to assess the effect of yoga on musculoskeletal pain and discomfort among industry workers.

Materials and methods

Ninety industrial workers with self-reported pain symptoms will be randomly assigned to Yoga and wait-list control groups following an equal allocation ratio. Yoga group will receive a specially designed Integrated Yoga module five days a week for eight weeks. The control group will be given lifestyle suggestions, and they will be offered the same Yoga module after the post-assessment. Musculoskeletal pain and discomfort scores, perceived stress, and quality of sleep will be assessed at baseline, after four and eight weeks.

Statistical analyses

Normality and appropriate statistical tests will be done after data collection to assess the differences between and within the groups.

Expected outcomes

Specifically designed Yoga module will help reduce subjective pain, stress and improve sleep quality in industrial workers.

瑜伽对工业工人肌肉骨骼疼痛和不适、感知压力和睡眠质量的影响:随机对照试验的研究方案

背景和目的工作场所的肌肉骨骼疼痛和不适与长时间、重复、连续和不自然的运动密切相关。瑜伽作为一种身心药物已经被证明可以减少疼痛和残疾。目前的研究旨在评估瑜伽对工业工人肌肉骨骼疼痛和不适的影响。材料与方法90名自述有疼痛症状的产业工人按照相同的分配比例随机分为瑜伽组和等候组。瑜伽组将接受专门设计的综合瑜伽模块，每周五天，持续八周。对照组将获得生活方式建议，并在评估后提供相同的瑜伽模块。肌肉骨骼疼痛和不适评分、感知压力和睡眠质量将在4周和8周后进行基线评估。统计分析数据收集后进行正态性和适当的统计检验，以评估组间和组内的差异。预期结果特别设计的瑜伽模块将有助于减轻工业工人的主观疼痛，压力和改善睡眠质量。
