<li style="font-weight:bold">Development of a reliable Dosha self-assessment questionnaire: <span style="font-weight:normal">The goal of this study was to create a valid Dosha self-assessment questionnaire with features appropriate for use in clinical research. The basis for developing 108 Dosha-specific test items with a 7-point Likert scale was a review of existing questionnaires and translations of classic Ayurvedic texts, along with an analysis of item-total correlations and ANOVAs by Dosha for 735 responses to a 37-item ipsative questionnaire from an Ayurveda company. From this, a 39-item quiz (13 for each Dosha) was eventually created. This study shows that it is possible to reliably quantify the three dosha for most clinical investigations.<ref name="ref24">Edwards MT, Streiner DL.

<li style="font-weight:bold">Dosha as a predictor of sleep quality: <span style="font-weight:normal">The present study was conducted on 995 people to see if there was any association between dosha and sleep since sleep is a result of increased kapha using standardized questionnaires. The findings imply that the dosha can affect both the duration and quality of sleep. The results of the study showed that kapha scores strongly predicted both the length of daytime naps in minutes [p<0.05] and daytime somnolence [p<0.05], with higher kapha scores being related to longer daytime naps.<ref name="ref25">Telles S, Pathak S, Kumar A, Mishra P, Balkrishna A.

<li style="font-weight:bold">Heart rate variability analysis in the assessment of dosha imbalance: <span style="font-weight:normal">Total 42 individuals' heart rate variability (HRV) spectrum data were gathered for this study in order to compare it to the clinical evaluation of dosha imbalance. A preliminary investigation to evaluate the diagnostic agreement between the clinical approach and HRV analysis in the assessment of gross dosha imbalance found significant concordance, as shown by the Kappa value of 0.78. The current study highlights the need for more research to confirm the HRV's usefulness in evaluating complicated dosha imbalances and other factors like dhatu imbalance.<ref name="ref26">Ram Manohar P, Sorokin O, Chacko J, Nampoothiri V.
