Brief Summary   YOGIC(Yoga In Constipation) trial is a Randomized controlled parallel group  single blinded study design to determine the safety and efficacy of Kosthasuddhikriya (KSK) as compared to Prucalopride for the treatment of functional constipation. KSK is a yogic technique designed  and created combining sequential  set of specific Yoga asanas like: Tadasana, tiryaka tadasana, kati chakrasana, tiryak bhujangasana, udarakarshanasana, mandukasana and drinking 400 ml of luke warm water in malasana. KSK is a modified form of Sankshaprakhalana (SP)  which is an yogic technique used for bowel cleansing in ancient Indian science. Recently few studies on role of SP in Bowel preparation and cleansing prior colonoscopy published in Indian journal of gastroenterology. However, no study till date has explored therapeutic role of yoga in constipation  as for best of our knowledge. In this trial patient diagnosed to have functional constipation as per rome IV crteria will undergo screening and baseline assessment followed by 1:1 Randomization will be done into two study arms using a sealed envelope concealment method (computer generated) investigator will be blinded during study allocation. After randomization each participant will be provided a bowel health dairy for recording of their parameters, symptoms and  yoga teaching will be done  by  YOGA instructors and recorded KSK Yoga videos will be provided  for subsequent use to Yoga arm participants and Prucalopride 2 mg Tablet will be provided to Prucalopride arm. Biscodyl 5 mg tablet will be provided to each group as a rescue therapy. Efficacy Outcome assessment will be in terms of Complete spontaneous bowel movement score and Change in bristol stool form scale(BSFS) Score. Secondary out comes will be assessed in terms of various symptom score(meausred in likert scale) . Acceptability and safety will be assessed by a pre validated questionnaire.
