EnglishNear Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) allows for assessing brain hemodynamics non-invasively. In NIRS studies, the maneuver of breath holding is frequently used as an activation of the brain autoregulation response. However, breath holding is not always feasible or effective in the clinical practice. We explored the possibility of using kapalabathi, an ancient yoga respiration technique, as an alternate activation maneuver. We studied the brain oxygenation response to kapalabathi, in yoga practitioners, in three different postures. In all the three postures considered Kapalabathi produces a measurable effect on the oxygen availability at the brain cortex level. Remarkable differences were observed in the brain autoregulatory response of smoker and non-smoker practitioners.

| Abstract: | Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) allows for assessing brain hemodynamics non-invasively. In NIRS... studies, the maneuver of breath holding is frequently used as an activation of the brain autoregulation response. However, breath holding is not always feasible or effective in the clinical practice. We explored the possibility of using kapalabathi, an ancient yoga respiration technique, as an alternate activation maneuver. We studied the brain oxygenation response to kapalabathi, in yoga practitioners, in three different postures. In all the three postures considered Kapalabathi produces a measurable effect on the oxygen availability at the brain cortex level. Remarkable differences were observed in the brain autoregulatory response of smoker and non-smoker practitioners. | |
