Do integrated yoga and naturopathy therapies improve psychological burden, sleep quality, and heart rate variability in a patient with generalized seizure disorder?

Population

A single 37-year-old male patient prediagnosed with generalized seizure disorder

Comparison

Integrated yoga and naturopathy therapies before vs after intervention

Design

Case report

Follow-up

3 weeks

Key result

Overview

Hypothesis-generating for IYNTs in epilepsy-related insomnia; controlled trials needed before any practice consideration.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the impact of integrated yoga and naturopathy therapies (IYNT) on psychological stress in a patient with seizures.
  • Single case report of a 37-year-old male with generalized seizure disorder
  • Underwent integrated yoga and naturopathy therapies for 3 weeks
  • Used DASS-21, PSQI, and HRV assessments before and after intervention.
  • DASS-21 and PSQI scores decreased post-intervention
  • Heart rate variability (HRV) parameters improved significantly
  • Low-frequency (LF) power and LF/HF ratio decreased, indicating higher parasympathetic activity.

Structured PICO

Do integrated yoga and naturopathy therapies improve psychological burden, sleep quality, and heart rate variability in a patient with generalized seizure disorder?

P
Population
A single 37-year-old male patient with generalized seizure disorder, sleeplessness, and headaches, treated with integrated yoga and naturopathy therapies for 3 weeks.
I
Intervention
Integrated yoga and naturopathy therapies (IYNTs) for 3 weeks.
O
Outcome
Depression Anxiety Stress Score-21 (DASS-21), The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and heart rate variability (HRV) parameters before and after intervention.patient reported

Integrated yoga and naturopathy therapies may improve psychological burden, sleep quality, and autonomic balance (HRV) in patients with seizure disorders, though larger studies are needed.

Limitations

  • Single case report, requiring further clinical studies with larger sample sizes to validate findings.
  • Single case report
  • Further clinical studies with larger sample sizes are necessary

Cite This Study

Deepa et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Generalized seizure disorder (n=1). Integrated yoga and naturopathy therapies (IYNTs) vs. Pre-intervention values was evaluated on Depression Anxiety Stress Score-21 (DASS-21), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and heart rate variability (HRV). Three weeks of integrated yoga and naturopathy therapies reduced stress, anxiety, and depression and improved sleep quality and heart rate variability in a patient with seizures.
