What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the effect of the Shitali Respiratory Rehabilitation Program in patients with obstructive sleep apnea, a condition that negatively affects blood pressure, sleep quality, and breathing. This study involves 40 patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, divided equally into two groups to compare the impact of the rehabilitation program. One group will perform six cycles of 5-minute Shitali respiratory pranayama exercises three times daily morning, afternoon, and evening for 12 weeks. The other group will serve as a control and will not receive any intervention during this period. Participants will be assessed before and after the 12-week period for several outcomes including the apnea hypopnea index, blood pressure systolic and diastolic, sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, respiratory rate, daytime sleepiness with the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and sleep difficulty reported by a partner using a visual analogue scale. These measures will help determine the programs impact on their sleep apnea and related symptoms.
