Summary

Clinical symptoms that are often found to be comorbid with pediatric chronic pain include anxiety, depression as well as increased stress, obesity, and decreased physical conditioning. Integrative therapies have been increasingly offered at children's hospitals as part of an integrated approach to treatment. Limited research exits on the efficacy of mind-body practices (e.g., yoga) utilized in conjunction with evidenced-based non-pharmacological treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to treat pediatric pain. Hence, this 7-week interventional pilot study was conducted to evaluate the impact of combining yoga and CBT for both pediatric patients with chronic pain and their caregivers.
