Unilateral forced nostril breathing and aphasia--exploring unilateral forced nostril breathing as an adjunct to aphasia treatment: a case series.

Background And Purpose: Unilateral forced nostril breathing (UFNB), a yogic pranayama technique, improves verbal and spatial cognition in healthy adults. The use of UFNB as an adjunct in aphasia recovery has not been explored. The current study investigated the use and potential benefit of combining UFNB with conventional speech-language therapy.
