Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: Pediatric use of yoga as an integrative medicine modality has increased in prevalence over the last several decades. In this article, we review the available evidence for yoga in pediatric gastrointestinal disorders.
RESULTS: Evidence supports that in many pediatric disorders of gut brain interaction (DGBI), including irritable bowel syndrome, functional abdominal pain and functional dyspepsia, yoga decreases pain intensity and frequency and increases school attendance. Yoga has been shown to improve health-related quality of life and improve stress management as an effective adjunct to standard medical therapy in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Further studies are needed regarding optimal frequency, duration of practice and evaluation of the impact on IBD disease activity measures. Yoga may benefit pediatric gastroenterology patients with DGBIs and IBD through improving quality of life and reducing pain. Future yoga studies could investigate biomarkers and continued research will help integrate this modality into routine pediatric gastroenterology care.

摘要：
目的：在过去的几十年中，儿科使用瑜伽作为综合医学模式的患病率有所增加。在这篇文章中,我们回顾了瑜伽治疗小儿胃肠道疾病的现有证据.
结果：有证据支持，在许多小儿肠脑相互作用（DGBI）疾病中，包括肠易激综合征,功能性腹痛和功能性消化不良，瑜伽可以减少疼痛的强度和频率，并增加学校出勤率。瑜伽已被证明可以改善与健康相关的生活质量，并改善压力管理，作为小儿炎症性肠病（IBD）标准药物治疗的有效辅助手段。关于最佳频率需要进一步的研究，实践持续时间和对IBD疾病活动措施影响的评估。瑜伽可以通过改善生活质量和减轻疼痛来使患有DGBIs和IBD的小儿胃肠病患者受益。未来的瑜伽研究可以研究生物标志物，持续的研究将有助于将这种方式整合到常规的儿科胃肠病学护理中。
