Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Thirty-four OSAS patients meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomized into 2 groups as pranayama and control groups. The pranayama group will practice pranayama on their own for 8 weeks, 7 days a week, 3 times a day for 15 minutes. In addition, he will perform a single 15-minute session 3 days a week online under the supervision of a physiotherapist. The control group will not receive any intervention.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Pranayama Group

Participants in this group will apply a 45-minute training program at home, consisting of 5 minutes of Ujjayi pranayama, 5 minutes of Nadi-Shodhana pranayama and 5 minutes of Sukha pranayama, 7 days a week for 8 weeks, 3 times a day. In addition, they will perform a 15-minute session 3 day a week for 8 weeks, under the online supervision of a physiotherapist. The training program will last 8 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Ujjayi pranayama, Nadi-Shodhana pranayama, Sukha pranayama

Intervention Type OTHER

Ujjayi pranayama:It is a pranayamic application that is performed by slightly twisting the throat and breathing through the nose. Nadi shodhana pranayama is breathing alternately through the right and left nostrils.Sukha pranayama is inhaled through the nose for 5 seconds, then given through the nose for 5 seconds. Thus, 6 times of inspiration and expiration is done per minute.

Control Group

No intervention will be made to this group.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
