Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major burden on global health and economy. Various Yogic techniques are found to be beneficial in the management of T2DM. Mind Sound Resonance Technique (MSRT) is one of the yoga-based meditation techniques observed to be effective in clinical settings.
Thirty-two patients with T2DM were randomized to either MSRT or supine rest (SR) sessions on two separate days separated by a washout period of one day. Fasting blood glucose levels were measured before and immediately after the sessions. State anxiety and subjective feeling of relaxation were assessed using Spielberg's state anxiety inventory (STAI) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) respectively.
There were significant differences between MSRT and SR groups in fasting blood glucose (p=0.019), STAI scores (p<0.001) and subjective relaxation (p<0.001). Within group analyses revealed significant reductions (p<0.001) in fasting blood glucose and STAI scores, along with an increase in subjective relaxation following the practice of MSRT, whereas, non-significant changes were found following the SR session.
A single session of MSRT was found to reduce blood glucose levels and state anxiety along with enhanced relaxation when compared to SR.
2型糖尿病（T2DM）是全球健康和经济的重大负担。人们发现各种瑜伽技巧对T2DM的管理有益。心音共振技术（MSRT）是一种基于瑜伽的冥想技巧，在临床环境中被观察到是有效的。
32名T2DM患者在两个不同的日子被随机分配到MSRT组或仰卧休息（SR）组，中间间隔一天的洗脱期。在疗程前后分别测量空腹血糖水平。分别使用斯皮尔伯格状态焦虑量表（STAI）和视觉模拟量表（VAS）评估状态焦虑和主观放松感。
MSRT组和SR组在空腹血糖（p=0.019）、STAI评分（p<0.001）和主观放松（p<0.001）方面存在显著差异。组内分析显示，进行MSRT后，空腹血糖和STAI评分显著降低（p<0.001），主观放松感增加，而进行SR疗程后未发现显著变化。
与SR相比，单次MSRT疗程被发现可降低血糖水平和状态焦虑，并增强放松感。
