30. These data indicate there was an average increase in pain scores for 2 patients (case 11 and 14). It should be noted that the patients both received intra-muscular medication administration during the yoga session. Where there is no bar, it indicates that that patients had 0/10 pain pre and post yoga
31. Anxiety Graph 2. Patient Mean Baseline and Follow-Up Anxiety T-scores
32. Table 2. Summary of Collected Data A paired, two-tailed t-test comparing pre- and post- yoga pain scores when we censored the two cases where patients received shots changes the score, which becomes statistically significant: p-value = 0.005 -9.62 -0.57 Average Change in Score <0.0001 0.079 P-Value 44.7 54.3 Anxiety T-Score 2.73 3.30 Pain Score Average Post-Yoga Score Average Pre-Yoga Score
Can add pictures here to illustrate the variety of impact’s activities
Average within patient baseline and follow-up anxiety T-scores are displayed in Graph 2. One patient (case #1) had an increased anxiety score after a yoga intervention.
The average within patient pain score before yoga was 3.30, and after yoga was 2.73 with a mean reduction in pain score of 0.57. A paired, two-tailed t-test comparing pre- and post- yoga pain scores resulted in a p-value of 0.079. The average within patient state anxiety T-score before yoga was 54.3, and after yoga was 44.7, with a mean reduction in anxiety T-score of 9.62. A paired, two-tailed t-test comparing pre- and post- yoga anxiety T-scores resulted in a p-value of 0.000004.
