Alternate Nostril Breathing Training in Geriatrics With Glaucoma and High Blood Pressure
- Conditions
- Primary Open Angle GlaucomaHypertension
- Interventions
- Behavioral: breathing exercise
- Registration Number
- NCT05605743
- Lead Sponsor
- Cairo University
- Brief Summary
Hypertension, particularly if poorly controlled, appears related to an increased risk of open angle glaucoma, (the high tension type of glaucoma is characterized as optic nerve degeneration with ocular hypertension). so this study will search response of glaucoma to breathing exercise
- Detailed Description
Hypertension, particularly if poorly controlled, appears related to an increased risk of open angle glaucoma, (the high tension type of glaucoma is characterized as optic nerve degeneration with ocular hypertension). With a random assignment, sixty hypertensive geriatric with high tension type primary open angle glaucoma will be assigned to breathing exercise (alternate nostril breathing) group (n=30 geriatrics) or waiting list geriatrics. the daily breathing exercise will be performed by the geriatrics in evening (for half an hour) and morning (for half an hour).

Group Intervention Description Exercised group breathing exercise Thirty hypertensive geriatric with high tension type primary open angle glaucoma will perform breathing exercise (alternate nostril breathing). The daily breathing exercise will be performed by the geriatrics in evening (for half an hour) and morning (for half an hour) for one month.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method intraoccular pressure It will be measured after 4 weeks of training it will be measured in right and left eyes
