      glucose in diabetic patients with high-tension primary open-angle glaucoma: a 
      randomized-controlled trial.

AB  - OBJECTIVES: Yoga is used as a complementary therapy to control the symptomatic 
      and complicated consequences of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) but the effect of 
      Jyoti-Trataka yoga (gazing steadily at a 4-feet away-fixed candle flame) on the 
      intraocular pressure (IOP), autonomic control, and fasting blood glucose (FBG) in 
      T2DM patients with high-tension primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) was not 
      previously investigated. This study aimed to search the effect of Jyoti-Trataka 
      on IOP, systolic blood pressure (SBP), respiratory rate (RR), diastolic blood 
      pressure (DBP), FBG, and pulse rate (PR) in T2DM patients with bilateral 
      high-tension POAG. METHODS: The patients with a 52- to 67-year range and body 
      mass index below 30 kg/m(2) were randomly assigned to one of two 30-patient 
      groups, study or control groups. Besides the administered oral hypoglycemic drugs 
      by both groups, the study group only received one month of daily 55-min 
      Jyoti-Trataka session. RESULTS: A significant decrease (p<0.05) was identified 
      after the comparison between the pre and post SBP, RR, DBP, FBG, IOP of both 
      eyes, and PR in the study group while the control group exhibited no significant 
      changes of all measures (p>0.05). In-favor-of the study group, the between-group 
      post-treatment comparison showed a significant improvement of all measures 
      (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Jyoti-Trataka is a good yogic complementary therapy that 
      can be used to regulate autonomic functions, blood glucose, and IOP in T2DM 
      patients with high-tension POAG.
