Yoga is a system of mind-body practices with the goal of uniting the body, mind and soul. It has been shown to reduce anxiety and stress, as well as improving the quality of life.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Objective\u2003The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of yoga in patients suffering from chronic subjective tinnitus.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Methods\u2003Twelve subjects previously diagnosed with chronic subjective tinnitus were selected for the study. The patients were asked to attend to yoga classes once a week and to practice yoga at home using a worksheet for 3 months. Each yoga class consisted of body exercises (asana), breathing (pranayama) and meditation (shavasana and yoga nidra). Tinnitus scores before and after the yoga classes were compared using the Wilcoxon test.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003Among the 12 patients, there were 4 men and 8 women and their mean age was 52.5 years. The median duration of tinnitus among the group was 5.4 years. There were statistically significant differences in the stress (p\u2009=\u20090.01), handicap (p\u2009=\u20090.004) and severity (p\u2009=\u20090.007) questionnaires scores.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion\u2003This study indicated that yoga practices may reduce life stress and symptoms of subjective tinnitus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0037-1601415","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,3]],"date-time":"2017-04-03T18:46:12Z","timestamp":1491245172000},"page":"009-013","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["The Effects of Yoga in Patients Suffering from Subjective Tinnitus"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"S\u00fcmb\u00fcle","family":"K\u00f6ksoy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department, Mersin Universitesi, Mersin, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Can","family":"Eti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Mersin Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, Mersin, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Meltem","family":"Karata\u015f","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yoga, Siddhashram Yoga Center, Mersin, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yusuf","family":"Vayisoglu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Mersin Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, Mersin, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,3]]},"container-title":["International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0037-1601415.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,6]],"date-time":"2019-05-06T16:10:16Z","timestamp":1557159016000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0037-1601415"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,3]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"01","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,24]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0037-1601415","relation":{},"ISSN":["1809-9777","1809-4864"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1809-9777","type":"print"},{"value":"1809-4864","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,3]]}}}
