Abstract
Background: Autonomic dysfunction is known to occur in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) patients. Effects of yogic techniques on autonomic dysfunctions in these patients are not well studied. Aim:We aimed at studying the effects of yogic techniques on PCOS patients having autonomic dysfunction by recording Heart Rate Variability (HRV). Method: The study was carried out in the Department of Physiology in collaboration with the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi. Thirty newly diagnosed PCOS cases having autonomic dysfunction were enrolled in study and HRV was recorded on them. They were then advised yogic practices for a period of 12 weeks. After 12 weeks HRV was again recorded. Results were compared using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Results: Pre-yoga PCOS patients HRV parameters were- mean Standard Deviation of normal-to-normal intervals (SDNN)=40.18±4.87, mean Square root of the mean squared differences of successive NN intervals (RMSSD)=32.17±3.55, mean low frequency (LF)=69.65±2.85, mean high frequency (HF)=30.34±2.51, mean LF: HF ratio=2.91±0.32. Post-yoga their HRV parameters were-mean SDNN=44.13±5.96, mean RMSSD=32.82±3.69, mean LF= 63.32±2.85, mean HF= 36.17±2.71 and mean LF: HF= 2.12±0.20. With the practice of yoga, there was a significant increase in values of HF (p<0.001) and a decrease in values of LF (p<0.001) and LF: HF ratio (p<0.001) depicting an improvement in HRV. Conclusion: Yogic techniques effectively improve HRV in PCOS patients with autonomic dysfunction.
