Yoga is a culturally acceptable practice that can reduce craving and help people quit tobacco. There is a need to evaluate the feasibility of implementation of a well- designed yoga protocol to address craving in individuals who use tobacco in India.
There is a high prevalence of tobacco use in the community that continue to remain underserved in terms of intervention and support for their tobacco use. Yoga is a culturally acceptable practice that can reduce craving and help people quit tobacco. However, we didn't come across Indian studies looking at yoga to reduce craving in individuals who use tobacco. There is a need to evaluate the feasibility of implementation of a well- designed yoga protocol to address craving in individuals who use tobacco in India.
Aim: To study the feasibility of yoga in reducing craving in individuals who use tobacco
Objectives:
Primary
Sampling frame:
Screened positive participants will be recruited from Rural community health and training centre, Mugalur, Tobacco cessation centre and OPDs of Department of general medicine, pulmonary medicine, cardiology, oncology, ENT and dental surgery and other super speciality OPD at SJMCH
.
Sample recruitment/sampling method:
Participants who fulfilled the inclusion criteria will be approached by the principal investigator and/or junior research fellow, and those who agreed to participate in the study will be randomly allocated to one of two groups via simple randomization. Randomisation will be computerised. This will be done in blocks of 10. Outcome assessor will be blinded to the randomisation. Principal investigator will not be involved in randomization of participants.
Training/ interventions/assessments/ procedures in the study -Participants in yoga arm will receive intervention from an instructor who would be trained in the intervention by the yoga adviser.
Procedure:
Screening positive participants fulfilling eligibility criteria, information regarding study is given and informed consent is documented. Selection of a quit date within 21 weeks.
Standard of living index(SLI) or Modified Kuppuswamy Scale for sociodemographic data (10mins), Fagerstrom scale(5 mins), Motivation to stop smoking (1 min) .
Participants are randomized into intervention and TAU groups with 48 participants each.
For intervention group, sixty minute yoga session will be imparted. The first session shall be offline, the rest of the 6 sessions shall be online.. After Completion all assessments will be done again both of intervention and TAU groups.Follow up at 21 weeks, 1 month and at 3 months.
-To assess relapse
Hypothesis Yoga will be a feasible method to reduce craving in tobacco dependent individuals who want to quit tobacco use
