Effectiveness of Yoga in Decreasing Symptoms and Improving Quality of Life in Parkinson's Disease
... There is however more yogaspecific research available regarding other clinical populations (non-TBI). For example, the physical or HRQOL benefits related to yoga interventions have been demonstrated in other clinical neurological populations [28], such as: multiple sclerosis [29]; Parkinson disease [30][31][32]; and stroke [33,21]. Yet, there is currently no research specifically assessing improvements in emotional regulation and HRQOL after yoga for individuals with TBI. ...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze changes in emotional regulation and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) following a yoga intervention for three participants with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Yoga was utilized as a modality to improve HRQOL and emotional regulation. Methods: A mixed method design was used to analyze changes in emotional regulation and HRQOL. Participants completed an eight-week yoga intervention and assessments were completed before and after the intervention. Outcome measures included the Difficulty in Emotional Regulation Scale (DERS) and Quality of Life after Brain Injury Scale (QOLIBRI, both are reliable and valid after TBI. The Change in score (percent change) were calculated for data from both assessments. Semi-structured interviews were completed, data were transcribed, and qualitative data were analyzed with a focus on emotional regulation and HRQOL. Results: On average, the three participants had a 16% improvement in DERS scores and 6% improvement in QOLIBRI scores following the yoga intervention. Analysis of the qualitative data indicate that participants identified improvements related to emotional regulation in the mind-body connection, peaceful and calm feelings, concentration and focus, and self-control. In relation to HRQOL participants noted social changes, physical changes leading to life changes, confidence to do things and self-development. Conclusion: Yoga is a potential intervention to address emotional regulation and HRQOL for individuals with chronic TBI. Emotional regulation and HRQOL are two important factors affected post-TBI that through this study were impacted by yoga as a focused mind-body intervention.
The study aims to evaluate the effect of yoga on the premenstrual syndrome, perceived stress level and the quality of life. The study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial at a university in Turkey. A yoga group = 39, a control group = 41, total of n = 80 female students participated in the study. In the study, firstly, the preview was made, then the yoga group was applied two days a week for eight weeks, the second follow-up was made after the application, and lastly, the last follow-up was made in the 24th week. Four questionnaire surveys were applied on students. When the yoga group compared with the control group in terms of premenstrual syndrome, the quality of life and perceived stress level in the 2nd follow-up, a statistically significant decrease was found in the mean between the menstrual and premenstrual period, and the quality of life increases in the yoga group compared to the control group students. Practicing yoga in university students with premenstrual syndrome reduced premenstrual symptoms and raised quality of life. Yoga can be recommended to girls with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) to reduce PMS and improve quality of life.
