Immediate effects of yoga on anxiety, depression, and sleep in women with chronic pain in a rural community setting: a pilot feasibility study
The asynchronous Hatha Yoga intervention was feasible, well accepted, and safe to be applied remotely in a group of women with chronic pain, living in a rural community. Despite the short duration of the Hatha Yoga intervention, the data presented suggest that improvements in anxiety, pain, depression, and sleep quality were observed in women with chronic pain. Large-scale randomized controlled trials are suggested to evaluate the effects of this modality on pain-related and psychological outcomes.
