Chronic pain affects millions of Canadians. The prevalence of chronic pain not associated with cancer (also called non-malignant) among Canadian adults has been estimated between 19 and 29 percent. Treatments for chronic pain tend to be only partially effective. In Canada, opioids are commonly prescribed to treat chronic non-malignant pain. Alternative strategies are being sought due to the side effects of opioids (e.g., nausea, constipation, respiratory depression), potential for addiction and misuse, and uncertain long-term effectiveness for the treatment of chronic non-cancer pain. Complementary and alternative medicine therapies are commonly sought to overcome the limitations of pharmacological treatments. Yoga, which consists of physical postures, breathing techniques, relaxation, and meditation, has been proposed as a potential intervention for chronic non-malignant pain in adults as it is thought to target the physical and psychological aspects of pain. The objective of this report is to summarize the evidence concerning the clinical effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and guidelines regarding yoga for chronic non-malignant pain in adults
