“…We plan to follow-up the patient further to understand the long-term benefits of Yoga and Naturopathy based lifestyle interventions in MetS. This case also adds to growing clinical evidence of the use of Yoga and Naturopathy therapies in chronic non-communicable degenerative disorders [11], [12].…”

A 50-year-old male participant with sedentary lifestyle, diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) [obesity, Type-2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension] and hypothyroidism since 2013, was administered integrated Yoga and Naturopathy (IYN) for 6 weeks as a tailor made individualized protocol at the residential integrative medical facility in Bangalore between October and November 2015. The results showed reduction in weight (97.9 kg to 74.6 kg), Body Mass Index (BMI) (35.1 kg/m2 to 27.86 kg/m2), total cholesterol (192 mg% to 145 mg%), triglycerides (153 mg% to 90 mg%), Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) (124 mg% to 81 mg%), High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) (40 mg% to 46 mg%), fasting blood glucose (110 mg/dl to 75 mg/dl), postprandial glucose (267 mg/dl to 100 mg/dl), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (7.8%–7.1%), Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) (6.90 μIU/ml to 3.052 μIU/ml). Following the intervention, the anti-hypertensive, oral hypoglycemic, thyroid raising and analgesic medicines were not required to be continued. His knee pain minimized on discharge as observed on a Visual Analog Scale. He had an improved feeling of wellness and overall functional health. All his parameters were within normal range at the 12-weeks follow-up, as he had incorporated the lifestyle program into his daily routine. This case report suggests that lifestyle change by integration of specific non-drug Yoga and Naturopathic intervention is useful in the management of MetS.

“…The first type of case describes the clinical outcome of naturopathic treatment with follow-up report (10 cases), and the second type of case describes naturopathic treatment that resulted in an adverse event with follow-up report (eight cases with two deaths were retrospective clinical anecdotes; thus, the informed consent was not mandatory, with the exception of the report of Vinchurkar and Arankalle, which was a research project. 21 The mean CARE scores of the two different types of cases were statistically different (P=0.001); the reliability of the ratings analyzed by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) using IBM SPSS Statistics version 24 software (IBM, Armonk, NY) was borderline inconsistent (P=0.09). For each article, ICC was calculated for the 13 criteria by 3 raters.…”

Objectives: The aims of this article are to evaluate case report publications on naturopathic medicine and to suggest improvement in the content of these case reports to ensure that they appropriately capture the philosophical underpinnings of this type of medicine. Methods: Articles were obtained by a National Library of Medicine query on "naturopathic" and "case report" in September 2015, and results were evaluated according to the CARE guidelines. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of the rating scores was calculated. Results: Nearly half of the case reports were about clinical adverse events. Though it is essential that adverse events be reported, it is imperative that successful cases are also reported to fully understand the impact of naturopathic medicine. The ICC (using single-measure absolute agreement) of the 18 selected articles was 0.669. Question-based improvement checks for writing naturopathic cases are proposed to capture some of the most important tenets of naturopathic medicine, including social and environmental determinants of health and the focus on an individualized treatment approach. Discussion: Evaluation of currently published naturopathic cases revealed both successful cases and cases involving adverse events. The reliability of rating by three naturopathic clinicians using the CARE guidelines was sufficiently high to confirm that the CARE guidelines are a valid instrument; however, to increase their utility as an educational tool for use in actual cases, additional information that is not part of the CARE guidelines can be included to more adequately describe naturopathic clinical case reports as a part of whole-systems research.

Background:Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is one of the most common gynecological disorders encountered in women during the reproductive age. Yoga therapy has shown promising benefits in several gynecological disorders.Methods:Thirty women between the ages of 20 and 40 years with primary DUB were randomly assigned to a yoga (n = 15) and a waitlist control group (n = 15). Participants in the yoga group received a 3-month yoga module and were assessed for hemoglobin values, endometrial thickness (ET), pictorial blood loss assessment chart (PBAC), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, perceived stress scale, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) before and after a 3-month follow-up period.Results:At the end of 3 months of intervention, the yoga group, unlike the control group, reported a significant reduction in the anxiety scores (P < 0.05) and perceived stress (P < 0.05). The PSQI scores indicated a reduction in sleep disturbances (P < 0.001) and the need for sleep medications (P < 0.01) and higher global scores (P < 0.001). However, there were no changes in PBAC and ET in both the groups.Conclusion:The results indicate that yoga therapy positively impacts the outcome of DUB by reducing the perceived stress and state anxiety and improving the quality of sleep. This warrants larger clinical trials to validate the findings of this pilot study.
