Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy where intraocular pressure is the only modifiable risk factor. Yoga is thought to adversely affect intra-ocular pressure (IOP) but we do not know if yogic breathing exercises can influence IOP. With this study, we aimed to determine the effect of specific nasal breathing techniques on intra-ocular pressure in normal individuals.
UNASSIGNED: One hundred and sixty-four normal subjects were randomly assigned to one of four specific breathing groups - right nostril breathing (RNB), left nostril breathing (LNB), alternate nostril breathing (ANB), normal breathing (NB). The IOP was measured in both eyes at baseline and following the breathing exercise; and the change was analyzed.
UNASSIGNED: Eighty-five women and 79 men participated and there was no significant difference in baseline age or IOP between the groups. In RNB, IOP reduced significantly in both right and left eyes, from 14.3 ± 3.0mmHg to 13.9 ± 2.6mmHg, (p=0.022) and from 14.7 ± 3.2mmHg to 14.2 ± 3mmHg (p=0.016) respectively. In LNB, there was no significant IOP change in the right eye, whereas in the left eye, there was a significant reduction from 14.2 ± 2.7mmHg to 13.3 ± 2.5mmHg (p< 0.0001). There was no significant IOP change in ANB and NB.
UNASSIGNED: Specific breathing techniques like right and left nostril breathing, alternate nostril breathing are safe and do not raise IOP in normal subjects. Additionally, right and left nostril breathing techniques have a beneficial effect of lowering IOP.

摘要：
未经证实：青光眼是一种视神经病变，其中眼压是唯一可改变的危险因素。瑜伽被认为会对眼内压（IOP）产生不利影响，但我们不知道瑜伽呼吸练习是否会影响IOP。通过这项研究,我们旨在确定特定鼻呼吸技术对正常人眼内压的影响.
UNASHSIGNED：将一百六十四名正常受试者随机分配到四个特定呼吸组之一-右鼻孔呼吸（RNB），左鼻孔呼吸(LNB),交替鼻孔呼吸（ANB），正常呼吸（NB）。在基线和呼吸运动后测量双眼的IOP;并分析变化。
UNASSIGNED：85名女性和79名男性参加，两组之间的基线年龄或眼压没有显着差异。在RNB中，右眼和左眼IOP均显著降低,从14.3±3.0mmHg到13.9±2.6mmHg，（p=0.022）和14.7±3.2mmHg至14.2±3mmHg（p=0.016）。在LNB中,右眼没有明显的眼压变化,而在左眼，从14.2±2.7mmHg显著降低至13.3±2.5mmHg(p<0.0001)。ANB和NB无明显眼压变更。
未经证实：特殊的呼吸技术，如左右鼻孔呼吸，交替鼻孔呼吸是安全的,并且在正常受试者中不会升高IOP。此外,左右鼻孔呼吸技术具有降低IOP的有益效果。
