Abstract
Background
Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) refers to a collection of interrelated physiological, biochemical, clinical, and metabolic variables that significantly raise the risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality. This trial aims to assess the effect of Naturopathy and Yogic Interventions on Vitality and Metabolic responses among patients with MetS.
Method
This trial is a single Centre Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) and will be conducted at Nature Cure and Yoga Centre in the Southern part of India. Enrolled subjects with MetS, who fulfilled National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III [NCEP ATP III Criteria], will be randomly allocated at a 1:1 ratio into Intervention and control groups. The Intervention group will receive Intensive Naturopathy and Yoga Intervention whereas the control group will receive a lifestyle advice during the initial consultation. The primary outcome will be measured by Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Blood Pressure Measurement, Biochemical Analysis, Anthropometric Measurement, Vitality Questionnaire, and Framingham Risk Score (FRS) which will be performed at the baseline and after 10 days of intervention and follow up will be taken at the 60th day.
Discussion
A larger clinical trial will be possible as a result of this study's contribution to the understanding of the effectiveness of Yogic Interventions and Integrated Naturopathy for MetS and associated risk factors.
代谢综合征(MetS)是指一系列相关的生理、生化、临床和代谢变量,这些变量显著增加2型糖尿病、心血管疾病和全因死亡率的风险。本试验旨在评估自然疗法和瑜伽干预对MetS患者活力和代谢反应的影响。方法本试验为单中心随机对照试验(RCT),将在印度南部的Nature Cure和瑜伽中心进行。入选的met患者符合国家胆固醇教育计划成人治疗组III [NCEP ATP III标准],将按1:1的比例随机分为干预组和对照组。干预组将接受强化自然疗法和瑜伽干预,而对照组在初始咨询期间将接受生活方式建议。主要结果将通过心率变异性(HRV)、血压测量、生化分析、人体测量、活力问卷和Framingham风险评分(FRS)来测量,这些将在基线和干预10天后进行,并在第60天进行随访。由于这项研究有助于了解瑜伽干预和综合自然疗法治疗MetS及相关危险因素的有效性,因此可能会进行更大规模的临床试验。
期刊介绍:
Advances in Integrative Medicine (AIMED) is an international peer-reviewed, evidence-based research and review journal that is multi-disciplinary within the fields of Integrative and Complementary Medicine. The journal focuses on rigorous quantitative and qualitative research including systematic reviews, clinical trials and surveys, whilst also welcoming medical hypotheses and clinically-relevant articles and case studies disclosing practical learning tools for the consulting practitioner. By promoting research and practice excellence in the field, and cross collaboration between relevant practitioner groups and associations, the journal aims to advance the practice of IM, identify areas for future research, and improve patient health outcomes. International networking is encouraged through clinical innovation, the establishment of best practice and by providing opportunities for cooperation between organisations and communities.
