In a context where yoga is more and more popularized in France and in Europe, and where Yogatherapy (as complementary medicine) begins to make its place in the care of patients in French hospitals, it seems interesting to study the impact of yoga in the chronic pain patient treated in a specific pain consultation by this non-pharmacological approach, and accessible.
Yoga is a discipline that has its origins in India for nearly 5,000 years, and which aims to bring physical, mental and spiritual well-being through postures, stretching, breathing exercises and meditation. Non-invasive and having very few side effects, this approach allows the practitioner to reclaim their body, to know themselves better, to accept their limits, to respect them and to empower themselves in their care and pathology. More and more studies are now looking at the positive effect of yoga whether it is on stress by demonstrating the drop in cortisol in participants, or on the reduction of symptoms of depression, improvement of immune function, or pain. To our knowledge, no study of the impact of yoga for analgesic treatment has been carried out in France. Through this retrospective study, the investigators wish to demonstrate a reduction in pain and / or an improvement in the quality of life.
