| الوصف: | Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disorder leading to significant disability and loss of Quality of Life (QoL). Yoga has become popular in recent times for its potential therapeutic benefits. Since there are no scientific reports on the use of Yoga for SSc, we present two female cases (aged 49 and 29 respectively) of limited SSc (duration of illness 4 and 3 years respectively) who underwent Yoga therapy as an adjunct to conventional management in a residential setting for a period of five and four weeks, respectively. During their stay, they underwent a specifically designed Yoga module. After their discharge, they were followed-up for four weeks, during which they were asked to continue practicing Yoga for 1 h every day. Both of them reported a reduction in pain, stiffness, symptom scores, and improved QoL on discharge and at the follow-up compared to the values on admission. Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and C-Reactive Protein (CRP), as biomarkers of inflammation, reduced on the discharge when compared to the baseline. No adverse events were noted during the stay and the follow-up. Thus, the present case series indicate a possible beneficial role of Yoga as an adjunct therapy to conventional management of SSc. Further studies in the area are warranted to ascertain the efficacy of Yoga for SSc. |
