Re: Breast Cancer Patients Benefit from Yoga
Yes, if this is the correct study, that second link was helpful. I want to reread it a couple of times to make sure that I catch it all, but I have some preliminary results. Most of what I have gotten out of this is that it was a preliminary 7-week study of two groups of cancer survivors who had been diagnosed over 4 years earlier on average.
1) the measureable differences between the intervention group (those who were given instruction in yoga) and the control group (those who were not) were psychosocial in nature. Of course past studies have shown that any physical exercise is beneficial psychologically for most people.
2) There were only 38 participants in the 7-week study 20 in the intervention group and 18 in the control group. While the results do show some correlation, a larger study is required to further investigate. This much is stipulated in the reading.
Celeste, I couldn't get to the first website you linked. Could you copy and paste the important information for me?
