Journal Title: International Physiology - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Yoga asana practices were documented for therapeutic use in diabetes mellitus Type 2 patients. The progress and complications of diabetes could be reduce by prescribing yoga therapy. Material and Method: The randomized control study of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients with polyneuropathy was done by making study and control group. The index tests applied for analysis of distal polyneuropathy were Visual Pain Analogue Score, Diabetic Neuropathy Symptom (DNS) score and Diabetic Neuropathy Examination (DNE) scores. All patients’ anthropometric, biochemical, cardiac and index test score data were collected before and after study in both groups. The study group had performed various yoga asanas and Bhastrika pranayama for 60 minutes every alternate day for 12 weeks. The control group was taking regular medication without any yoga therapy. Data were analysed in MedCalc Software by application of student t test. Results: The study group DNS & DNE Score before yoga 2.3±1.0 and 3.2±1.9 respectively were significantly improve after yoga intervention to 0.6±1.1 and 1.9±1.7 respectively (p <0.0001). The pain score was also improved after yoga therapy in study group from 5.5±1.7 to 1.4±1.6 (p<0.05). The control group, without yoga intervention did not show any significant change in index score after 12 weeks of regular medication. Conclusions: This study showed regular yoga therapy in diabetic prescription can improve pain and neuropathy condition in polyneuropathy patients of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
