Clinical Trial Summary

This clinical trial studies yoga therapy in treating patients with malignant brain tumors. Yoga therapy may improve the quality of life of patients with brain tumors


Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the participation rate, accrual, adherence, and retention to a yoga trial in patients with malignant brain tumors.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To obtain estimates of the variability of self-reported fatigue, distress (i.e., depression, anxiety), sleep disturbance, cognitive function, and health-related quality of life from baseline to the end of the intervention at 6 (post-onsite intervention) and 12 weeks (post-full intervention).

II. To obtain preliminary estimates of the efficacy of a yoga intervention in patients with malignant brain tumors on the outcomes of fatigue, distress, and cognitive function.

III. To standardize the cancer-specific yoga protocol for use with brain tumor patients.

OUTLINE:

Patients participate in yoga classes comprising postures, deep relaxation, breathing practices, and meditation twice weekly for 75 minutes during weeks 1-6. Patients then practice yoga at home twice weekly for 45 minutes during weeks 7-12.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically for 4-5 months. ;
