Interoceptive awareness and yoga in patients with eating disorder: a preliminary descriptive analysis.

Résumé

Introduction: Eating Disorders (ED), such as anorexia, bulimia and binge eating, affect about 10% of young people (Treasure, 2020). They are characterized by a deviant relationship with food and body, resulting in pathological eating and weight control behaviors. Physiological and psycho-cognitive comorbidities are commonly associated with ED, including interoceptive deficit (Demartini et al., 2021). Interoceptive awareness is the ability to identify, access, understand, and respond appropriately to the patterns of internal signals, such as digestive system, muscle tension, heart rate, etc. (Price & Hooven, 2018). Interoceptive awareness can be improved with mind and body practices like meditation or yoga (Demartini et al., 2021). To our knowledge, the effect of yoga on interoceptive awareness has not been studied in ED patients. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of yoga on interoceptive awareness in a clinical setting. We hypothesize that yoga will improve interoceptive awareness. Method: Inpatient participants at Paul-Brousse hospital completed the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA) scale after 8-weeks of therapeutic yoga intervention. Results: Currently, four participants have completed the protocol. A descriptive analysis showed that the total MAIA score improved after the 8 weeks of yoga, with a mean pre-yoga score of 56/160 (±29) and a mean post-yoga score of 92/160 (±16). Conclusion: The MAIA score increase should demonstrate a positive effect of yoga on interoceptive awareness. However, the sample size remains small and additional data are needed as well as a controlled study to assess the actual contribution of yoga to these results.
