Pranayama group
Kapalbhati, Ujjayi and Anuloma-Viloma pranayama techniques were applied to the experimental group. Within this scope, a three days of applied training program was prepared and a guide involving the steps of Pranayama breathing technique was formed. The patients in of pranayama group were trained by the researcher who had yoga trainer certificate. After completing three days of training and observations regarding their accomplishment of applications properly, a pranayama breathing technique video showing how the pranayama breathing technique is done with its details was downloaded to their smartphones and a guide including the application steps was distributed to the patients. The patients were required to apply pranayama technique, in company with the video, 20 min every day and a month in total.

Yogic Breathing Technique
Relaxation group
As there was not placebo breathing control treatment appropriate to yoga breathing technique, relaxation technique was decided to apply in the second group to equalize psychological effects of the treatment. Progressive relaxation technique was taught to the relaxation group during the same training span.A three days of applied training program and Relaxation Technique Application Guide, including steps of progressive relaxation technique, were prepared within this scope. After completing three days of training and observations regarding their accomplishment of applications properly, a relaxing music to listen during applications and a training video involving progressive relaxation directives were downloaded to smartphones of the patients. Also, Relaxation Technique Application Guide involving application steps were distributed to the patients. The patients were required to apply relaxation technique, in company with the video, 20 min every day and a month in total.
