The aim of the study was to test the efficacy of a one month in-patient naturopathy and yoga programme for patients with asthma. Retrospective data of 159 bronchial asthma patients, undergoing the naturopathy and yoga programme, was analyzed for Forced Vital Capacity, Forced Expiratory Volume at the end of 1 second, Maximum Voluntary Ventilation and Peak Expiratory Flow Rate on admission, 11th day, on discharge and once in three months for three years. The paired sample t test results showed significant increase in the Forced Vital Capacity and Forced Expiratory Volume from the date of admission up to 6th month (P < 0.0035) post Bonferroni correction. Maximum Voluntary Ventilation significantly increased from admission till the date of discharge (P < 0.0035) and Peak Expiratory Flow Rate significantly increased from admission till the 36th month of follow-up (P < 0.0035), post Bonferroni correction. This validated the beneficial effect of combining naturopathy and yoga for the management of bronchial asthma.
该研究的目的是测试为期一个月的住院自然疗法和瑜伽项目对哮喘患者的疗效。分析了159名接受自然疗法和瑜伽项目的支气管哮喘患者的回顾性数据，包括入院时、第11天、出院时以及三年中每三个月一次的用力肺活量、第1秒末用力呼气量、最大自主通气量和呼气峰值流速。配对样本t检验结果显示，经Bonferroni校正后，从入院之日起至第6个月，用力肺活量和第1秒用力呼气量显著增加（P < 0.0035）。经Bonferroni校正后，最大自主通气量从入院到出院时显著增加（P < 0.0035），呼气峰值流速从入院到随访的第36个月显著增加（P < 0.0035）。这证实了自然疗法和瑜伽相结合对支气管哮喘管理的有益效果。
