Pa spisek nekaterih medicinskih raziskav, ki so bile narejene v zvezi s Sudarshan Kriyo:
Summary of medical reports on Sudarshan Kriya® - Medical Studies
The effects of stress, physical and mental health are wide-reaching. Anxiety and depression have been found to be co-factors in the progression of everything from cancer and HIV to asthma and cardiovascular disease.
The Sudarshan Kriya® and related breathing practices taught in art of living courses have been found to have remarkable therapeutic benefits. The Sudarshan Kriya® has been the subject of medical research and scientific study since 1995. These techniques have been shown by independent, clinical trials to be effective in increasing lung capacity, reducing the blood plasma levels of cortisol, (the "stress hormone") and alleviating depression, to name a few of the tremendous benefits demonstrated by these studies.
The articles written about the results of these scientific studies have been published in referred journals, a hallmark of scientific distinction for medical and scientific researchers. 1996 - Effects of Sudarshan Kriya in Dysthymic Disorders by B.L. Mehti, N.Janakiramaiah, et al. Departments of Neurophysiology and Psychiatry, NIMHANS. An independent study.
Depressed people have distorted dream stage EEG brainwave patterns. With practice of Sudarshan Kriya and practices (related breathing practices used in conjunction with the Sudarshan Kriya), the dream-stage EEG patterns significantly improved. There was a reduction in REM latency onset and an improvement in NREM stages. This study demonstrates that Sudarshan Kriya & practices produce objective and beneficial biological effects. 1997 - Normalization of P300 Amplitude following Treatment in Dysthymia by P.J. Murthy, B.N. Gangadhar, N. Janakiramaiah, and D.K. Subhakrishna. Biological Psychiatry, 1997, Vol.42, pp. 740-743. An independent, controlled study.
This study showed that Sudarshan Kriya and practices (SK&p) is effective in treating mild and melancholic depression. Depressed people have a particular EEG brainwave abnormality which is measured by the P300 ERP amplitude. By day 30, there was significant relief from depression in the groups treated with SK&p, as measured by P300 amplitude and standard depression scales. When P300 was post-tested at day 90 it had returned to normal, (it was indistinguishable from normal controls) and they remained depression free. 1998 - Therapeutic Efficacy of Sudarshan Kriya Yoga in Dysthymic Disorder by N. Janakiramaiah, B.N. Gangadhar, et al. NIMHANS Journal. An independent study.
68% of patients completing the program experienced remission from depression, both at the one month and the three month retest times. Blood analysis revealed statistically significant elevation of plasma prolactin levels after the very first SK&p session. This is important since elevated plasma prolactin may be crucial in producing an anti-depressant response. Cortisol levels remained stable, indicating that the practice of Sudarshan Kriya is not stressful. 1998 - P300 Amplitude and antidepressant response to Sudarshan Kriya Yoga by P.J. Murthy, N. Janakiramaiah, et al. Journal of Affective Disorders, vol. 50, pp. 45-48. An independent study.
73% of patients showed significant improvement following SK&p therapy and remission persisted at the 3 month retesting. The Sudarshan Kriya was effective on depression regardless of the severity of depression or the severity of the patient's biological dysfunction (as measured by the P300 amplitude). 1998 - A pilot study conducted on the effectiveness of Sudarshan Kriya and its related breathing practices in the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis was conducted at the Institute of Rehabilitation of the Republic of Slovenia.
This study showed significant improvements in patients' mobility, endurance levels, lung capacity, and significant reductions in anxiety. 2000 - Anti Depressant Efficacy of Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) in Melancholia - a randomized comparison with ECT and Imipramine by N.Janakiramaiah, M.D., B.N. Gangadhar, M.D., et al. Journal of Affective Disorders, vol. 57, Issues 1-3, pp. 255-259.
This comparison study found SK&p statistically as effective as electroconvulsive or anti-depressant drug therapy. Furthermore, SK&p is free of the troubling side-effects, expense and dependency that the other treatments can create. 2000 - Stress-Related Biochemical Effects of Sudarshan Kriya Yoga in Depressed Patients by B.N. Gangadhar, N. Janakiramaiah, B. Sudarshan, K.T. Shety, National Institute of Mental Health and Neuroscience, Bangalore, India 560029.
These findings were presented on May 11, 2000, to the United Nations NGO Mental Health Committee at the United Nations in New York. This study found Sudarshan Kriya to produce statistically significant decreases in plasma cortisol levels. (Cortisol is known as the stress hormone.) Significant reductions in BDI and HRSD scores occurred.
