An open label intervention study was undertaken on 26 mild hypertensives and 26 apparently healthy adults (30-60 y), for the effect of Sudarshan Kriya Yoga practice for two months as complementary therapy. In the hypertensives, there was a significant decrease in diastolic blood pressure (P < 0.01), serum urea (P < 0.01) and plasma MDA (malondialdehyde adducts) as oxidative stress marker (P < 0.05). Other parameters; viz.; plasma levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, did not change significantly (P > 0.1). The pattern of change in most of the study parameters was such that values above normal range were lowered but values within normal range were unaltered. The action of Yoga on diastolic blood pressure, malondialdehyde adducts and kidney function in hypertensives was of counteractive nature and felt to be distinctly different than the effect of drugs.
对26名轻度高血压患者和26名明显健康的成年人（30 - 60岁）进行了一项开放标签干预研究，以探讨为期两个月的苏达山克里亚瑜伽练习作为辅助疗法的效果。在高血压患者中，舒张压（P < 0.01）、血清尿素（P < 0.01）和作为氧化应激标志物的血浆丙二醛（丙二醛加合物）（P < 0.05）均显著降低。其他参数，即血浆胆固醇、甘油三酯、葡萄糖水平，无显著变化（P > 0.1）。大多数研究参数的变化模式是，高于正常范围的值降低，但正常范围内的值未改变。瑜伽对高血压患者舒张压、丙二醛加合物和肾功能的作用具有对抗性质，且被认为与药物的作用明显不同。
