This study investigates the effectiveness of two self-regulation strategies, Iyengar yoga and walking, in managing symptoms and improving mood in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The study's objective is to evaluate the efficacy of these non-medication approaches for symptom relief and mood management in IBS patients. The authors employed a randomized controlled trial design, comparing the effects of yoga and walking. The study findings provide valuable insights into the potential benefits of self-regulation strategies in managing IBS, offering a complementary approach to traditional medical treatments.
