“…Sample size was calculated using the formula of sample size calculator for comparing paired differences. The study would require a minimum sample size of 12 (number of pairs) to achieve a power of 90% and a level of significance of 5% (two sided), for detecting a mean of the differences of 3.333 between pairs, assuming the standard deviation of the differences to be 2.967 [ 13 , 19 ].…”

Background “Cervical spondylosis” (CS) is a collective term used for non-specific neck pain post 30 age group. Management of CS is mainly non-surgical, particularly in mild to moderate severity that includes the oral anti-inflammatory drugs, exercises, manipulation, mobilization, or combination of these. Objective The objective of the study is to assess the possible benefit of a selected group of asana in a group of patients over a short time frame and assess their functional outcome. Materials and methods An observational study of cohort of patients having mild to moderate CS, who visited the AYUSH department between May 2016 and November 2016 were included. “Selected group of Asana (SGOA)” was practiced for 30 min supervised and then home-based for a period of 8 weeks with usual standard treatment. Patients followed up fortnightly, and their degree of severity & disability assessed. Results Thirty patients with 19 males and 11 females having ages mean ± SD 45.61 ± 8.3 and 44.18 ± 9.78 having NDI score of mean ± SD 17.83 ± 4.749 at baseline (0 weeks) were included. Patients showed an improvement in NDI score to finally 7.40 ± 3.180, p-value = 0.0001. This improvement was also noted at various time intervals (p-value = 0.0001 each time), as seen in the post hoc analysis. Conclusion Yogic practices “Specific Group of Asana” done for eight weeks on a home-based program could be useful in reducing pain and disability in people suffering from CS of mild to a moderate degree. However, more extensive, comparative, and multi-centric trials are required for establishing this as a treatment modality.

Yoga nidra, also known as ‘yogic sleep’, is a simplified form of an ancient tantric relaxation technique. The most general description of the practice is that it combines guided mental imagery with a specific yoga posture called Shavasana (or “corpse pose”). The goal of yoga nidra is to promote a profound state of relaxation, which differs from sleep inasmuch as there is still an awareness of one’s surroundings. While several components of the practice have been known since ancient times, it was not until the 1960s that an updated and systematized system of practice was introduced to the public through the writings of Swami Satyananda Saraswati. Unlike other schools of yoga, which emphasize concentration or contemplation, yoga nidra’s goal is complete relaxation. As such, its advocates claim that it is suitable for all individuals, from beginners to advanced practitioners of yoga. The calm inner stillness induced by yoga nidra is claimed by practitioners to be an effective stress management tool as well as a means for attaining greater receptivity to personal resolutions. These resolutions can range from the goal of achieving self-transformation, enhancing creativity, or improving one’s learning ability. Additionally, yoga nidra is claimed to promote beneficial changes in physiological and mental health. The following narrative review summarizes the basic steps used to achieve the final state of yoga nidra relaxation as well as some recent experimental findings regarding its physiological and psychological effects. Standard research databases were searched for relevant articles. Clinical studies have shown that yoga nidra meditation is associated with positive physiological changes, including improvements in several hematological variables, red blood cell counts, blood glucose levels, and hormonal status. Two neuroimaging studies have shown that yoga nidra produces changes in endogenous dopamine release and cerebral blood flow, a further confirmation that its effects on the CNS are objectively measurable. The practice has also been shown to reduce psychometrically measured indices of mild depression and anxiety, although these benefits were not shown in an experimental study to extend to severe depression or severe anxiety.
