People who experience traumatic events can suffer from numerous short and long-term physical, psychological, emotional, interpersonal, and behavioral impairments. Yoga practices have shown promising results in decreasing many traumatic stress symptoms. Unfortunately, the research on the use of yoga with people who have experienced trauma has not been systematically and rigorously examined so it is currently unclear if this intervention can positively impact traumatic stress symptoms.Objectives: This systematic review sought to learn what the current randomized controlled research reveals about the overall effect of yoga practices for people who have experienced trauma.Data sources: A comprehensive search was conducted that included databases, hand searches of peer-reviewed journals, website reviews, branching reviews and reference mining of applicable materials.Study eligibility criteria, participants, and interventions: Studies were limited to randomized control trials with a sample population who experienced at least one traumatic event and were published in peer-reviewed journals, theses, dissertations, conference presentations or posters, or applicable grey literature between 1/1/2000 to 7/1/2017. Study appraisal and synthesis methods: Articles included in the review were assessed in a number of areas including: the level of scientific rigor, reporting quality, effects of the interventions, and the appropriateness of statistical analyses and findings. Results were pooled across studies and complied into a narrative synthesis.Conclusions and implications of key findings: This systematic review found encouraging evidence that yoga may be an effective, accessible, and acceptable option for people who have experienced trauma. Further research is needed to strengthen the evidence and better identify what specific yoga types and components are effective for which populations and under what circumstances. 2018-12-18 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1525694131781816 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1525694131781816 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
