The purpose of this study was to conduct a descriptive analysis of the recognized efficacy of yoga therapy on psychological variables in male persons with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). The sources of stress among person at 30 males with diabetic peripheral neuropathy were chosen for the study from the Chengalpattu district, Tamil Nadu in India were researched. To determine how stress sources are received by male persons with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Studies on DPN participants have examined important psychological variables such as Stress and Anxiety. When receiving yoga therapy, Participants with diabetic peripheral neuropathy had improved Mind function and decreased their DPN level: symptom Stress and Anxiety levels among patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). The Participants were given a Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) questionnaire. The PSS had ten objects rated on a 5-point scale, with 0 being the least stressful and four being the most stressful, and The GAD had seven objects rated on a 4-point scale, with 0 being the least Anxiety and 3 being the most Anxiety. Thirty males with diabetic peripheral neuropathy were chosen for the study randomly; they were between the ages of 35 and 70. Two groups were formed from the selected subjects. There were fifteen in each group. one underwent experimental groups(n=15) another underwent control group (n=15). Group- I received a Yoga therapy practice, and Group II underwent it without any practice. The 12-week training period, six days per week, an hour in the morning. To determine the way to deal with stress through Yoga. This study showed that individuals who participated in the yoga module performed better than Control Group II. Yoga Therapy performed much better in Experimental Group I. After practising Yoga for 12 weeks, the experimental group shows better results in psychological characteristics. According to our data, the Yoga practice group benefited more than the control group. The experimental group was significantly less Stressed and Anxiety. On the other hand, the control group showed a modest increase but no improvement. Our data support this notion. Improved mindfulness, which includes specific components for processing experience, being less self-critical and empathetic to themselves, and not over-identifying with Stress and Anxiety, was connected to greater impact in the Yoga practice group. This research study reveals that Yoga Therapy was a significantly more effective treatment for DPN.
