摘要：
Yoga is an ancient science which has been found to be helpful in the management of several psychiatric disorders including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Yoga as add-on treatment in OCD may help address issues like partial response and adverse effects of medications. However, research in this area is sparse, which led us to explore it through this case series. In this case series we have described the benefits of 1 month of yoga as add-on treatment in patients with OCD. All patients were on stable doses of medications prior to and during yoga practice. Pre-post assessments for the core symptoms of obsession/compulsions as well as depressive and anxiety symptoms were done. The assessments showed significant improvement in Y-BOCS and HAM-D scores after 1 month of yoga. Yoga therapy could be an effective add-on therapy for the treatment of OCD.
