Abstract

Background and objectives

Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is often associated with prolonged standing at work. CVI could lead to multiple symptoms and vascular inflammation. Yoga as therapy has helped in mitigating several occupational hazards. The current study protocol is designed to assess the effect of Yoga on CVI.

Materials and methods

One hundred industry workers with CVI will be randomly allotted to Yoga and wait-list control groups following an equal allocation ratio. Yoga group will receive a specially designed Yoga module six days a week for three months. The Control group will continue with the routine activities. Serum homocysteine, Venous Clinical Severity Scale (VCSS), Ankle Brachial pressure index and psychological status will be assessed at baseline and the end of three months of intervention.

Statistical analyses

Data will be tested for normality and appropriate tests will be used to assess the differences between the groups.

Expected outcomes

Specifically designed Yoga module will help to reduce the vascular inflammation, symptoms of CVI and enhance psychological functioning.

瑜伽对慢性静脉功能不全工业工人同型半胱氨酸水平、症状学和生活质量的影响:一项随机对照试验的研究方案

背景与目的慢性静脉功能不全(CVI)常与长时间站立工作有关。CVI可导致多种症状和血管炎症。瑜伽作为一种治疗方法有助于减轻几种职业危害。目前的研究方案旨在评估瑜伽对CVI的影响。材料和方法100名患有CVI的工业工人将按照平等的分配比例随机分配到瑜伽组和等候名单对照组。瑜伽组将接受专门设计的瑜伽模块，每周六天，为期三个月。对照组将继续进行常规活动。在基线和干预三个月结束时评估血清同型半胱氨酸、静脉临床严重程度量表(VCSS)、踝肱压力指数和心理状态。统计分析将对数据进行正态性测试，并使用适当的测试来评估组间的差异。预期结果特别设计的瑜伽模块将有助于减少血管炎症，CVI症状和增强心理功能。
