Aim: Mental stress can lead to various biochemicals, physiological and psychological changes in human body. The present study was designed to evaluate the antistress activities of Tinospora cordifolia (wild) Miers associated with yogaMethods:  A randomized double blind placebo control 8 weeks study was conducted. The mental stress patients were diagnosed clinically by using different validated psychological rating scales. A total of 63 patients with mental stress were randomized into four groups. The antistress activities of the treatments were measured by different psychological rating scales as well as various biochemical parameters i.e. lipid profile, serum glucose concentration.Results:  The serum glucose, lipid like triglyceride, cholesterol, ldl –cholesterol and psychological parameters like anxiety, depression were significantly increases in patients with chronic mental stress. However following treatment with Tinospora cordifolia associated with practice of yoga significantly reduced various stress induced psychological and biochemical parameters (P< 0.001)Conclusion:  The findings of the clinical study suggested that Tinospora cordifolia and practice of yoga have significant anti stress activities as shown by its mitigating effects on chronic stress induced psychological and biochemical perturbation comparable to that induced by well known adaptogenic agent diazepam.

Sixty in-patient alcoholics, presenting with an alcohol withdrawal syndrome after at least one week's drinking bout, were randomly allocated to fixed dose regimens of either piracetam or chlormethiazole in a one-week double-blind trial. The patients were studied in respect to physical and biochemical parameters as well as symptom reduction and side-effects. The battery of rating scales demonstrated a good symptom reduction in both drug groups. On the whole a small tendency to more symptom items being reduced on piracetam in comparison with chlormethiazole was found. But the three items, sleep disturbances, decreased libido at the initial phase, and the staffs assessment showed statistically significant differences in favour of chlormethiazole. This study demonstrated that piracetam was just as efficient as chlormethiazole in patients not requiring sedation.
