“…In a chronic neck pain study Pilates and yoga exercise groups were compared following 12 sessions [86]. Pilates and yoga were equally effective for decreasing pain and disability, although surprisingly there were no changes on the more objective range of motion and postural measurements.…”

“…The details of the studies for chronic low back pain are given in Table 2 (Cox, Tilbrook, Aplin, Semlyen, Torgerson, Trewhela, et al, 2010;Evans & Hadler, 2006;Evans, Carter, Panico, Kimble, Morlock, & Spears, 2010;Galantino, Bzdewka, Eissler-Russo, Holbrook, Mogck, Geigle, et al, 2004;Groessl, Weingart, Aschbacher, Pada, & Baxi, 2008;Haldavnekar et al, 2014;Holtzman & Beggs, 2013 Dunleavy et al, 2015;Michalsen et al, 2012) present studies on yoga intervention in chronic headache and chronic neck pain. Evidence for yoga intervention in Fibromyalgia and chronic low back ache from systematic reviews and meta analysis appeared promising.…”

Yoga intervention and functional pain syndromes: a selective review

The definition of functional pain syndromes is varied across literature. No effort has been made to see all functional pain disorder groups under broad nomenclature which would exclude conditions for which pathophysiology is strongly known. Since these disorders are commonly treated with alternative treatment modalities and impose significant burden on health utilization, an effort to look into studies on yoga-based interventions on 'functional pain syndromes' (FPS) was made. This study defined FPS as 'Chronic relapsing remitting pain conditions, the origin of which is difficult to trace with no definite physical pathology on clinical suspicion or available laboratory measures and are valid based on subjective pain reporting, associated distress and socio-occupational dysfunction'. Chronic headache, neck pain, back pain, fibromyalgia, pelvic pain, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and somatoform pain disorders were included for this review. The review found four meta-analyses on the selected topic both indicating modest efficacy and benefit of yoga in these disorders. Future efforts should be directed to do a large meta-analysis of functional pain syndromes.

“…Scientific research on the effects of the Pilates method on neck pain present methodological differences, but do not make comparisons unfeasible. Regarding the studies included herein, one was predominantly performed with adults [17] and the other with young and old individuals, characterizing a broader age group [27]. The divergences and particularities of each age group make it difficult to extrapolate and compare the results, since the elderly population presents associated health problems and poorer health self-perception [28,29].…”

“…Currently, several types of interventions have been performed in order to reduce chronic neck pain [11 -13], from conventional physiotherapy to more specific exercises [14,15], among them the Pilates method [16,17]. Pilates can be considered as an alternative to improve flexibility, motor coordination, muscular strength and stability, as well as postural alignment, which are essential factors for postural functionality and reeducation [18 -20] in general.…”

Effects of the Pilates method on neck pain: a systematic review

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction: The Pilates method has been used for neck pain reduction. Objective: To systematically review randomized and non-randomized controlled trials that assessed the effects of Pilates on neck pain when compared to other groups (CRD42015025987). Methods: This study involved a systematic review directed by the PRISMA Statement based on the recommendations of the Cochrane Colaboration, registered in PROSPERO under the code CRD42015025987. The following databases were searched: Cochrane CENTRAL, EMBASE, PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus and Web of Science, using the terms “Pilates” AND “Neck pain”, without language and date restrictions. Results: Of a total of 73 identified studies, two were included herein since they fulfilled the eligibility criteria (at least one intervention group applying Pilates), where we evaluated the methodological quality by the Downs and Black scale and evidence strength with the Best Evidence Synthesis. Pain and disability decreased from the sixth session, with gradual improvement in up to 24 sessions. Conclusion: Few studies are available using Pilates to decrease pain, and moderate evidence exists of positive Pilates effects on pain and function in patients with neck pain.
