description This systematic review is aimed to evaluate the effect of yoga therapy on lumbar intervertebral disc prolapse (LIVDP) also known as lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Databases such as PubMed/Medline, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, and search engine Google Scholar were searched from 2007 to 2024. Randomized control trials (RCTs), case studies, and quasi-experimental studies involving yoga therapy and LIVDP/LDH were included in the study. The PRISMA guidelines were followed to extract the 10 articles for the study. The primary outcomes included disability scores, pain intensity, nerve conduction, and structural changes. 10 studies involving 546 patients were included in the study. The average sample size of the studies was 54.6 patients. The length of intervention varied from 3 weeks to 4 months with an average of 2 sessions/week. This study demonstrated that yoga therapy is an effective, affordable, and preventive treatment for LIVDP and low back pain. However, additional high-quality, large-scale RCTs and studies are needed for clinically significant results.
