Item Effect of add-on yoga therapy to physiotherapy in the management of spinal cord injury patients.(S-VYASA, 2020-01) Madhusmita, Monali; Ebnezar, John; Srinivasan, T. M.; Singh, Deepeshwar; Mohanty, PatitapabanBACKGROUND Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a leading cause of disability. Varying injury level and severity generate a spectrum of neurological dysfunction and a reduction in long-term Quality of Life (QOL) with a decrease in mobility. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES This study was aimed to evaluate the add-on effect of a Yoga program along with physiotherapy on individuals with paraplegia. METHODS Participants: A total of 124 spinal cord injury (SCI)patients of both genders with age range 18–60 years, having incomplete SCI (AIS)-C and (AIS)-D,and admitted to the rehabilitation center, India, were randomly allocated into two groups, i.e., (i) experimental group -Integrated Yoga and Physiotherapy (IYP) (n=62; age means and SD: 33.97±10.0 years), and (ii) control group - Physiotherapy (PT) (n=62; age mean and SD:32.84 ± 9.5 years). Design: Two groups pre-post randomized controlled clinical trial. Assessments: The outcome assessments consisted of primary outcomes: (i) American Spinal Injury Association Impairment (ASIA) scale, (ii) c-Reactive Protein (CRP), (iii)Spinal Cord Injury Independence Measure (SCIM), and(iv) Medically Based Emotional Distress Scale (MEDS). The secondary outcome measures were: (i) Body Mass Index (BMI), and (ii) Quality of Life Index Spinal Cord Injury - Version III were measured in both groups at the beginning and end of one month. Intervention: The experimental group underwent one-month combined practice of physiotherapy and yoga therapy, in a schedule of 75-min/day (6-days/week), whereas the control group underwent physiotherapy treatment aRESULTS: The IYP group showed a significant reduction in scores of CRP (p˂0.001), SCIM (p˂0.001), MEDS (p˂0.001), and improvement in the quality of life (SCI-QoL Index) (p˂0.001) compared to control group. CONCLUSION: One-month comprehensive Integrated Yoga and Physiotherapy program is more effective than physiotherapy intervention alone, in the management of paraplegia patients.Item Effect of Integrated Approach of Yoga Therapy for Premenopausal Women With Mastalgia, A Randomized Controlled Study with 6 months follow up(S-VYASA, 2016-01-12) Sukanya, RaghunathMastalgia is a common breast disorder with highly variable prevalence estimates ranging from 41% to 79%.
