    (SVYASA, 2018-10-13) Kalyan Maity; V. Sureshbabu
    Title: Efficacy of sleep special technique on young healthy yoga practitioners: A randomized control study Background: Sleep is an indicator of health. Sleep determine many aspects of our life like mood, cognitive functions such as attention and working memory, homeostasis, learning, concentration etc. which is very much important for the college students. Whereas most of the sleep related problems are found in college students worldwide. There are many previous studies showing improvement in the quality of sleep by the practice of meditation and different yoga practices. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the positive effect of SST on sleep quality, stress level and quality of life in young healthy yoga practitioners. Methods and Materials: A total of 120 students were screened and only 94 healthy male yoga practitioners were randomly allocated into two groups, experimental group n=47 and control group n=47. Experimental group practiced one month of Sleep Special Technique and control group had not exposure to yoga. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), WHOQOL BREF, and The Vedic Personality Inventory (VPI) questionnaire were administered to the participants before and after one month of SST for experimental group and one-month gap was given for control group. Results: After one month of SST result showed the significant reduction of global PSQI score (p<.001***), perceived stress scale (p<.001***), and significant improvement in all domains of QOL (p<.001***), Sattva guna (p<.001***) in experimental group compared to control group. Conclusion: One month course of SST has a significantly positive effect on overall sleep quality, quality of life and perceived stress. Transition towards sattva guna was evident during course of SST intervention.

    Effect of mind sound resonance technique (msrt: a yogic relaxation technique) on perceived stress, state anxiety & IVF outcome in women undergoing IVF treatment a randomised control study
    (S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Munirathna, M.
    Background The women undergoing infertility treatments are under stress and anxiety. The aim of this study was to see the effect of Mind Sound Resonance Technique (A Yogic Relaxation Technique) on Perceived Stress, State Anxiety and the outcome of IVF in women undergoing IVF treatment. The studies like The prevalence of primary infertility in Mysore by Paul C.Adamson1 and colleagues, Stress and Anxiety during IVF by Kathy Turner2 and colleagues, Influence of stress and anxiety in women entering IVF by Csemiczky G3 and colleagues, etc. done worldwide also show that women undergoing IVF are stressed and anxiety levels are high during different stages of treatment and the effect on the outcome. Method Randomized control study was done on the women patients who started their IVF treatment. State Trait Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger, C.D., Sydeman, S.J. (1994) and Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen & Williamson, 1988) were measured on the first day of hormone stimulation and repeated after Embryo Transfer. Taking the environment of the clinic into consideration, the first 30 women were taken into the control group and the women who came in later were taken into experiment group. The experiment group were given the intervention, Mind Sound Resonance Technique (A Yogic Relaxation) during the stimulation days and on the day of Embryo Transfer. The patient was allowed to record the audio of the intervention and practice the relaxation technique even at home (till they came for the Beta HCG: implantation blood test). Both groups were compared in terms of demographic details and clinical details. The two group study was then related to see the outcome after the treatment. Results Comparison of the demographic details showed no significant difference. The total hormone stimulation also showed no significant difference when compared to both the groups. Both groups were comparative in terms of age, duration of infertility, FSH, AMH, dosage and number of days of stimulation. The quality of the embryos, embryo transferred and embryo frozen did not show significant difference, which means that this study was a very good comparative study. The Student t-test (unpaired) was done on the State anxiety (STAI) score of the patient on the first day of stimulation and after the Embryo Transfer. The p value on the day of stimulation did not show significant difference when compared with the two groups. Whereas, the p value showed strongly significant (0.001**) change in the State anxiety score post Embryo Transfer. The Student t test (unpaired) was done on the Perceived Stress (PSS) score of the patient on the first day of stimulation and after the Embryo Transfer. The p value, on the day of stimulation did not show significant difference when compared with the two groups. Whereas, the p value showed moderate significant (0.037*) change in the Stress score post Embryo Transfer. The Chi-Square test is done to assess the outcome in both the groups. The results were significantly high with the outcome of pregnancy being 9 (30%) positives in control group and 17 (56%) positives in experiment group. The age group was categorized in both experiment group and control group to study the Beta HCG positive outcome. As further test of analysis, when the results were compared according to the different age group categorization, Beta HCG positivity showed a positive trend in the experiment group when compared to the control group though it was not statistically significant. The clinical pregnancy rate shows that experiment group had significantly less number of patients who experienced abortions and significantly more number of patients who achieved clinical pregnancy. Conclusion The findings of the present study show that Mind Sound Resonance Technique (MSRT: A Yogic relaxation) intervention is a good technique to reduces Perceived Stress and State Anxiety in women undergoing IVF treatment, in turn helps in implantation and improving outcome of clinical pregnancy.

    Effect of yoga on dysmenorrhea in adolescence girls
    (S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Jyothi Sajjan
    Many women are familiar with the experience of dysmenorrhea, which can contribute to significant physical and emotional distress and life disruption. However, women may not seek professional expertise in their attempt to alleviate this condition. It is important to assess the beliefs and experiences of all women with dysmenorrhea, including adolescents, as early in gynecologic care as possible. This article reviews the management of primary dysmenorrhea. AIM: To assess the pain in Dysmenorrhea, To assess the efficacy of Yoga in Dysmenorrhea. Methodology: 30 Adolescent girls from Government Higher primary School in Karnataka state of India were selected for the study and were divided into two groups, Yoga(n=15) and Control(n=15). Yoga group performed physical postures (asanas), breathing practices (pranayama) and yoga based relaxation techniques for 60minutes six days a week for 30days and the control group continued their daily routine. There was no significant difference in age, socioeconomic status, between the groups at the baseline. BMI, B.P, Pulse, respiratory rate, pain scale, Perceived Stress Scale, Modified Depression Scale, Attitude and belief assessment scale were used to assess pain and stress levels before and after one month in both groups. Data was found normally distributed by kolmogrov and shapiro-wilk test and thus, paired t test was used to compare within and between group results. Results: A Significant improvement in pain scale, Modified Depression Scale, Perceived Stress Scale (P<0.001) was observed at the end of 30days Yoga therapy module. Conclusion: The assessment and data analysis clearly shows that 30 days practice of YOGA significantly reduced the Pain, depression and Stress score of the participants, while improvement was none in the control group. These findings need confirmation from studies with a larger sample size, which are implicated in the future.

    Effect of Integrated Yoga Module on Perceptibility of Stress and Emotional Competence Based on Coping Strategies on Diabetes Mellitus Patient
    (S-VYASA, 2014-07-13) Nandi, Priti
    Background Various forms of yoga such as Pranayama, Meditation, and Yoga Nidra have been found to be beneficial in reducing the anxiety and stress of the subjects undergoing distress. Aim The present study is aimed at assessing the perceived stress and emotional competence in various group of subjects, coping of their stress by using different strategies. Material and Methods A sample size of sixty five (n=65) subjects undergoing a yoga training of 10 days participated in the trial were included in the study. Variables such as Coping Strategy (CS) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) were assessed at once before the start of intervention, whereas Emotional Competence (EC) was assessed twice i.e., before and after the intervention. Results Paired ‘T’ Test was used to compare the effect of intervention within the group but no statistical test was taken into consideration as the other variables were recorded once. It was reported that the Emotional Competence Score was higher (p<0.05) following a 10 days of yoga intervention. When all subjects were divided into three groups based on their coping strategies, it was observed that the ‘denial group’ had higher scores of PSS and lower scores of EC. The trend of higher scores of EC significantly lowered following the yoga intervention in the same group. Conclusion The low scores of EC and high scores of PSS in denial group suggest that this group perceives stress highly and thus shows less performance in their emotional competence. More clearly perceived stress is highly related with Emotional Competence and yoga plays a vital role in managing their stress and make them emotionally competent.
