Yoga for Adolescent Knee Pain

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Adolescent atraumatic anterior knee pain is a common yet cumbersome diagnosis that is currently managed with home exercises and physical therapy. The goal of this project is to present patients with an alternative treatment in the form of yoga available in an online video format. This new treatment, in the form of online yoga videos, may be more preferred for some patients and allow for higher compliance with home exercises aimed at treating anterior knee pain.

Clinical Trial Description

Adolescent atraumatic anterior knee pain is a common yet cumbersome diagnosis that is currently managed with home exercises and physical therapy. The goal of this project is to test the compliance and efficacy of an alternative treatment in the form of yoga available in an online video format. This study will help further the treatment understanding of one of the most common patient clinical presentations, atraumatic anterior knee pain in adolescents. This is a cumbersome patient presentation that is frustrating for both the patient and treating team in that there is no concrete treatment algorithm that works for everyone. Online yoga videos may be more preferred for some patients and allow for higher compliance with home exercises aimed at treating anterior knee pain. With this study, the investigators hope to ensure that the yoga videos provide equal, or more, pain relief and flexibility at the completion of the program. It is hypothesized that patients completing the yoga program will have equivalent or greater flexibility, compliance, and pain relief when compared with current treatment recommendations for anterior knee pain. This study aims to assess the success of a video-based eight-week home yoga program at improving compliance, increasing flexibility and functionality of knee movements. Compliance will be tracked through recorded access to the specific YouTube videos hosted through the CTPO YouTube Channel. Anterior knee pain patients will be given a link to two yoga videos and will be asked to do them at home, or wherever convenient for 8 weeks, 3-4 times a week. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
