這是一篇來自英國倫敦Westminster大學的研究，證明瑜珈對於沮喪的成效。

BACKGROUND: Yoga-based interventions may prove to be an attractive option for the treatment of depression. The aim of this study is to systematically review the research evidence on the effectiveness of yoga for this indication. METHODS: Searches of the major biomedical databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE, ClNAHL, PsycINFO and the Cochrane Library were conducted. Specialist complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and the IndMED databases were also searched and efforts made to identify unpublished and ongoing research. Searches were conducted between January and June 2004. Relevant research was categorised by study type and appraised. Clinical commentaries were obtained for studies reporting clinical outcomes. RESULTS: Five randomised controlled trials were located, each of which utilised different forms of yoga interventions and in which the severity of the condition ranged from mild to severe. All trials reported positive findings but methodological details such as method of randomisation, compliance and attrition rates were missing. No adverse effects were reported with the exception of fatigue and breathlessness in participants in one study. LIMITATIONS: No language restrictions were imposed on the searches conducted but no searches of databases in languages other than English were included. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the initial indications are of potentially beneficial effects of yoga interventions on depressive disorders. Variation in interventions, severity and reporting of trial methodology suggests that the findings must be interpreted with caution. Several of the interventions may not be feasible in those with reduced or impaired mobility. Nevertheless, further investigation of yoga as a therapeutic intervention is warranted.

背景︰ 基於瑜珈的干涉可以證明是處理沮喪的一種有吸引力的選擇。 這項研究的目的是有系統為這指示關於瑜珈的效力評論研究證據。 方法︰ 包括線上醫學文件分析和檢索系統，EMBASE，ClNAHL，PsycINFO的主要的生物醫學的數據庫的搜尋和科克倫訊息庫被處理。 和IndMED 數據庫也被搜尋的專家補充醫學和可選醫學(計算機輔助製造)和鑑定未發表過和進行中的研究的做的努力。 搜尋是被在1月和6月之間處理的2004。 相關的研究按研究類型分類並且被估價。 臨床的評論是為研究報告臨床的結果獲得的。 結果︰ 5 randomised 控制審訊被放，每個利用瑜珈干涉的不同的形式， 狀態的嚴厲從溫和範圍到嚴厲。 全部審訊報告積極的結論，但是方法學的細節(例如randomisation，服從和磨損比率的方法)丟失。 在一項研究，在參加者裡，除疲勞和悶熱之外，沒有反作用被報告。 限制︰ 沒有語言限制被施加於處理的搜尋，但是沒有語言數據庫的搜尋除了英語被包括。 結論︰ 總起來，最初跡象具有潛在有利的瑜珈干涉對抑郁症的影響。 在干涉，嚴厲和審訊方法學的報告方面的變化建議結論必須被謹慎解釋。 一些干涉可能不可行在那些有降低或者削弱機動性。 更進一步，雖然如此調查的瑜珈象治療干涉被證明為正當的那樣。
