ABSTRACT
The study was designed to find out “An Integrated Approach of Yoga and Prayanama
in Survical Pain”. For this study 300 men patients suffering from Survical pain of Chandrapur
district of Maharashtra State were selected as subjects at random from various Yogic Centres,
Naturopathy Clinics, Massage Centres, Acupressure clinics and Allopathic clinics were
identified and selected randomly and their age was 18 to 65 years. They were divided into
three groups namely Yoga group, Prayanama group and Control group. The first and second
groups had undergone treatments through Yogasana and Prayanama respectively for six
weeks. The Copenhagen Neck Functional Disability Scale was used as tool to measure the
Survical pain and the score was recorded in the points. It is concluded from the findings of
this study that all types of training groups relieves Survical pain.
Key Words: Yoga, Prayanama, Survical Pain

INTRODUCTION
The International Paris Task Force on Survical pain confirmed that the apparently
contradictory results can be partially explained by lack of uniformity in the measurements of
physical activity and by the wide range of populations studied (e.g., athletes and non-
athletes). Recognizing evidence for different effects of occupational and non-occupational
activities on SP, the task force recommended the use of measurements that differentiate
between three types of activity: activities of daily living, occupational activities, and
recreational and sport-related activities, because these may not be associated with SP in the
same way. Following the task force recommendations, and because of the paucity of
information regarding physical activity in a general population and methodological flaws in
most previous studies in this area, we chose to investigate Yoga, Prayanama among all adults
of a defined community (non-athletes) and their relation to SP prevalence and severity.

METHODOLOGY
The investigator employed random sampling method. 300 men patients suffering from
Survical pain of Chandrapur district of Maharashtra State were selected as subjects at random
from various Yogic Centres, Naturopathy Clinics, Massage Centres, Acu-pressure clinics and
Allopathic clinics were selected randomly and their age was 18 to 65 years. They were
divided into three groups namely Yoga group, Prayanama group and Control group. The first
and second groups undergone treatments through Yogasana (Ten specific Asanas) and
Prayanama (Five specific Prayanama) respectively for six weeks. The pre and post-test were
taken for all the subjects before and after the treatment respectively. The Copenhagen Neck
Functional Disability Scale was used as tool to measure the Survical pain and the score was
recorded in the points.

RESULTS
The following tables illustrate the statistical results of the An Integrated
