“…VAS has been used in numerous studies for the evaluation of nasal obstruction. 8,9 In our study, the VAS scores were significantly higher in the patient group compared to the control group compatible with literature, suggesting that VAS can be a useful tool in the evaluation of nasal obstruction in clinical practice.…”

“…VAS has been used in the assessment of numerous subjective characteristics, primarily including nasal obstruction and nasal drainage, nasal pruritus, sneezing, and eye symptoms. 8,9 VAS is a self-report scale in which the patients are required to grade nasal obstruction from 0 to 10, where "0" indicates "a clear nose" and "10" indicates "complete nasal obstruction". VAS has been used in numerous studies for the evaluation of nasal obstruction.…”

“…Controlled breathing maneuver is used to assess cardiovascular autonomic control [22][23][24][25][26][27]. Previous studies have verified that decreased breathing rate is responsible for the increased cardiac vagal regulation [28][29][30][31][32][33]. Results associating breathing control maneuvers with lower breathing rates and the improvement of vagal modulation are still contradictory [33].…”

The purpose of this study is to clarify cardiac autonomic nervous system activity during slow breathing exercises in a supine position. Eighteen healthy young males were participated. Heart rate variability was measured for 5 minutes at rest, 5 minutes at slow breathing, and then 5 minutes at rest. As a result, the LF/HF ratio increased with slow breathing, but HF value did not change. We suggest that the increased LF/HF ratio may be due to increased airway resistance. Cardiac autonomic nervous system activity during slow breathing in the supine position was revealed.

“…The position of the fingers of the hands is traditional without a clear scientific basis but their use to compress one nostril to lateralize nasal breathing has been shown to influence the balance of sympathetic versus parasympathetic nervous systems, especially in cardiac studies of heart rate.

Yoga protocol for treatment of breast cancer-related lymphedema

et al. 2016

Introduction:Vaqas and Ryan (2003) advocated yoga and breathing exercises for lymphedema. Narahari et al. (2007) developed an integrative medicine protocol for lower-limb lymphedema using yoga. Studies have hypothesized that yoga plays a similar role as that of central manual lymph drainage of Foldi's technique. This study explains how we have used yoga and breathing as a self-care intervention for breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL).Methods:The study outcome was to create a yoga protocol for BCRL. Selection of yoga was based on the actions of muscles on joints, anatomical areas associated with different groups of lymph nodes, stretching of skin, and method of breathing in each yoga. The protocol was piloted in eight BCRL patients, observed its difficulties by interacting with patients. A literature search was conducted in PubMed and Cochrane library to identify the yoga protocols for BCRL.Results:Twenty yoga and 5 breathing exercises were adopted. They have slow, methodical joint movements which helped patients to tolerate pain. Breathing was long and diaphragmatic. Flexion of joints was coordinated with exhalation and extension with inhalation. Alternate yoga was introduced to facilitate patients to perform complex movements. Yoga's joint movements, initial positions, and mode of breathing were compared to two other protocols. The volume reduced from 2.4 to 1.2 L in eight patients after continuous practice of yoga and compression at home for 3 months. There was improvement in the range of movement and intensity of pain.Discussion:Yoga exercises were selected on the basis of their role in chest expansion, maximizing range of movements: flexion of large muscles, maximum stretch of skin, and thus part-by-part lymph drainage from center and periphery. This protocol addressed functional, volume, and movement issues of BCRL and was found to be superior to other BCRL yoga protocols. However, this protocol needs to be tested in centers routinely managing BCRL.
