Cerebro-Haemodynamic Changes in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Following Yoga Intervention: A Pilot Study.

What Was Tested

The paper reports a study of Cerebrolysin, published as a randomized controlled trial.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of an integrated approach of yoga therapy on cerebral haemodynamics in T2DM patients.

A Transcranial Doppler instrument was used to assess the Peak systolic velocity, mean blood flow velocity, end diastolic velocity, pulsatility index, and resistance index of the middle cerebral artery on days 1 and 14.

Why It Was Studied

Cerebral haemodynamics is highly compromised in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).

Yoga, a holistic method of healing is known to influence cerebral haemodynamics.

Who Took Part

PubMed indexes the participants as adults and middle-aged adults, both men and women.

Participants who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into yoga and control groups.

How the Study Was Run

In design terms this was a randomized and pilot study.

Because people in this Cerebrolysin study were split into groups at random, differences between the groups are less likely to reflect who happened to join each one.

It is described as a pilot, a small early test of whether a larger Cerebrolysin study would be practical.

The yoga group underwent 14 days of intensive diabetes-specific yoga intervention along with their standard medications, whereas the control group continued with their standard medications alone.

What Was Measured

Topics PubMed links to this paper include Yoga, Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Pilot Projects, Cerebrovascular Circulation, Ultrasonography, Doppler, Transcranial, Hemodynamics and Blood Flow Velocity.
