Biswas, Isha; Lewis, Sarah; Chattopadhyay, Kaushik

Abstract

The global burden of osteoarthritis among adults is rising. Yoga might be a potential solution for the management of osteoarthritis. This systematic review aims to synthesise the content, structure and delivery characteristics of effective yoga interventions for the management of os-teoarthritis. The JBI methodology for systematic reviews of effectiveness and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines will be followed. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effectiveness of yoga interventions for the management of osteoarthritis in adults will be included in this review. We aim to search the following databases to find published and unpublished studies: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycInfo, SPORTDiscus, AMED, Web of Science, CENTRAL, TRIP, AYUSH Research Portal, ABIM, CAM-QUEST, PeDro, OpenGrey, EthOS, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses and DART-Europe-e-theses portal. No date or language restrictions will be applied. A narrative synthesis will be conducted with the help of tables. A meta-regression will be conducted to explore the statistical evidence for which the components (content, structure and delivery characteristics) of yoga interventions are effective.
