Abdominal Breathing for Depression, Anxiety, Heart Rate Variability in

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The research topic is to explore the effectiveness of abdominal breathing on improving of depression, anxiety, and heart rate variability in obstructive sleep apnea patients with depressive symptoms. This study method adopts an experimental research design and divided into experimental group and control group by random sampling. Experimental group receives abdominal breathing training, whereas control group without receiving abdominal breathing training.

Clinical Trial Description

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common chronic disease with frequent comorbidity of depression. When we use sedatives, antidepressants or hypnotics for the treatment of depression, these drugs may worsen symptoms of OSA leading to aggravation of original depressed moods. Therefore, the research topic is to explore the effectiveness of abdominal breathing on improving of depression, anxiety, and heart rate variability among obstructive sleep apnea patients with depressive symptoms. This study method adopts an experimental research design and divided into experimental group and control group by random sampling. Experimental group receives abdominal breathing training, whereas control group without receiving abdominal breathing training. The research is conducted with experimental and control groups. The effectiveness assessment will use the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and check the heart rate variability (HRV). Both groups received the pre-test before the abdominal breathing training. The post-test was carried out at the fourth and eighth weeks of training. The experimental group is given abdominal breathing training for a total of 8 weeks, with the training in the hospital once a week, 15 minutes for each time, in combination with self-training at home under videos guidance for 10 minutes per day (10 minutes, for one time or several times accumulated) .The expected result is through abdominal breathing, the depression, anxiety, and heart rate variability of OSA patients with depressive symptoms can improve, and even with less use of medication. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
