Schizophrenia is a severe mental health issue. It impairs a person's thinking, emotions, and behaviour. Those who suffer from this condition may seem detached from reality, causing distress for themselves and their loved ones.
- 22 RCTs had a total of 2064 subjects.
- Yoga and Mindfulness interventions were more effective than other mind-body therapies in reducing schizophrenia symptoms.
- Specifically, Yoga improved PANSS-positive and PANSS-negative symptom scores with SUCRA 74.8 % and 80.4 % respectively.
- Mindfulness improved PANSS-positive symptom scores with SUCRA 85.6%.
The analysis in total included 22 randomized controlled trials which involved a total of 2064 subjects. The network meta-analysis found that Yoga and Mindfulness interventions were more effective than other mind-body therapies in reducing the symptoms of schizophrenia
This research suggests that Yoga may be a potential therapy for schizophrenia, but the limited sample size and low quality of the studies included restrict the applicability of our results. They added that more high-quality research is needed to confirm our findings.
