Abstract

Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) results in discomfort in youth. This study proposes that yoga and mindfulness will decrease anxiety and improve the quality of life in IBS youth.

Primary objective and intervention: To measure the impact of a virtual 6-week Standardized Yoga and Meditation Program for Stress Reduction (SYMPro-SR) program on anxiety, symptoms, and quality of life.

Methods/design: Participants completed 3 surveys over the phone before and after the yoga course. A minimum sample size of 45 subjects was calculated to detect a 20% difference in pre and post Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders (SCARED) scores, using 80% power, a two-tailed P value of .05, and a standard deviation SCARED total score of 10. Due to COVID-19, the study was converted into a pilot study with a goal of 10 recruited patients. Additional recruitment is ongoing.

Setting: Virtual.

Participants: Youth aged 12-21 years with IBS in 2 pediatric gastroenterology offices in New Jersey. 40 subjects were approached, 10 were onboarded, and 8 completed the program. There were 4 female, 4 male, 6 white, 1 Asian, and 1 black participant(s).

Primary outcome measures: SCARED, Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL), and Children Somatic Symptoms Inventory (CSSI) pre and post-yoga survey scores.

Results: Post-intervention, PedsQL showed improvement (P = .01). The SCARED anxiety subscale scores significantly decreased (P = .01). There was a trend for improved outcomes in SCARED panic disorder and separation anxiety subscale scores (P = .07 and .08, respectively). Four (sore muscles, stomach aches, feeling bloated or gassy, and food making one sick) of the 24 symptoms in the CSSI significantly improved post-intervention.

Conclusion: Teenagers with IBS were able to complete the yoga videos at home, with demonstrated improvement in quality of life, certain aspects of anxiety, and some somatic symptoms.

期刊介绍： Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
