Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Individuals wrestling with panic disorder (PD) know all too well its debilitating impact. Sudden, intense fear episodes disrupt lives and erode well-being. Fortunately, integrating complementary therapies like yoga with standard treatment offers a glimmer of hope for improved outcomes. Yoga\'s unique blend of physical postures (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama), and meditative practices holds promise for mitigating anxiety and fostering a sense of inner peace, potentially making it a valuable tool in the fight against panic disorder.
METHODS: This study investigated the effect of yoga as an adjuvant to standard care for panic disorder. Sixty-four panic disorder patients of both genders previously diagnosed with panic disorder according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) criteria were randomly assigned to the yoga group (n = 32) and the control group. The yoga group participated in integrated yoga sessions lasting 60 minutes, five days a week, for 12 weeks. Both groups received standard care. Pre- and post-intervention data were collected for HAM-A and WHOQOL-BREF.
RESULTS: The yoga group exhibited a significant reduction in HAM-A scores (Pre: 49.13 ± 4.55, Post: 13.53 ± 5.54, p < 0.001) with a substantial effect size of 7.02. Quality of life significantly improved across all domains (physical, psychological, social, and environmental) in the yoga group (p < 0.001), demonstrating effect sizes ranging from 4.11 to 4.57. Control group participants also experienced improvements, though less pronounced. Between-group comparisons revealed significant differences in anxiety reduction (p = 0.042) and quality of life enhancement (p < 0.001), favouring the yoga group.
CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that yoga can be a valuable complementary or alternative approach to traditional treatments for anxiety disorders.

摘要：
背景：与恐慌症（PD）搏斗的人非常清楚其衰弱的影响。突然,强烈的恐惧事件扰乱了生活，侵蚀了幸福。幸运的是,将瑜伽等补充疗法与标准治疗相结合，为改善结果提供了一线希望。瑜伽独特的身体姿势混合（体式），呼吸练习（调息），冥想练习有望减轻焦虑和培养内心的平静感，可能使其成为对抗恐慌症的有价值的工具。
方法：本研究调查了瑜伽作为惊恐障碍标准护理的佐剂的效果。根据精神障碍诊断和统计手册（DSM-5）标准，先前被诊断为恐慌症的64名两种性别的恐慌症患者被随机分配到瑜伽组（n=32）和对照组。瑜伽小组参加了长达60分钟的综合瑜伽课程，一周五天,12周。两组均接受标准护理。收集HAM-A和WHOQOL-BREF的干预前后数据。
结果：瑜伽组HAM-A评分显著降低（Pre：49.13±4.55，Post：13.53±5.54，p<0.001），显著效应大小为7.02。生活质量在所有领域(物理，心理,社会,和环境)在瑜伽组中(p<0.001)，演示效果大小范围从4.11到4.57。对照组参与者也经历了改善，虽然不太明显。组间比较显示，在焦虑减轻（p=0.042）和生活质量提高（p<0.001）方面存在显着差异。喜欢瑜伽组。
结论：结果表明，瑜伽可以成为焦虑症传统治疗方法的一种有价值的补充或替代方法。
