Management of sleep and autonomic parameters are prime importance in diabetic patients. The present study was undertaken to observe the effectiveness of 8 weeks of vestibular exercise on sleep and autonomic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes. A total of 30 participants were recruited for the study. After recruiting, the participants were randomly assigned to the control and intervention groups with a 1:1 distribution. The vestibular exercises comprise three sets of exercises of 45 minutes duration each session. Four sessions per week were administered to the participants. The exercises were standardized by earlier researchers. The same was adopted in the present study. There was a significant decrease in the ISI scores and decrease in the systolic, diastolic and pulse rate in the participants. The present study results show that practicing vestibular exercises along with the prescribed treatment helps to improve sleep and regulate autonomic functions. The study recommends long-term studies with a higher sample size for a better understanding of the vestibular exercises and also recommends adopting these exercises in the treatment protocol.
