Overcoming Pain Through Yoga in the Military — OPTYM  

Chronic Low Back Pain Clinical Trial

Official title:
Mind/Body Interventions for Chronic Low Back and Neck Pain in Military Personnel

Clinical Trial Summary

Our primary aim is to assess the feasibility of conducting yoga research among active-duty military personnel with Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) and/or Chronic Neck Pain (CNP). In addition, we will evaluate the yoga intervention preferences and refine an existing yoga intervention to address those needs. The study will prepare us for a R01 funded pragmatic clinical trial of yoga for CLBP and CNP in active-duty military.

Clinical Trial Description

In preparation for a full-scale study via a subsequent R01 proposal, our study objective is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of conducting a yoga RCT among active-duty military personnel with CLBP/CNP in military and community settings. The study will be conducted in two phases: Phase 1 (completed) involved obtaining IRB approval to conduct research in military settings, collecting qualitative data from stakeholders on attitudes and preferences for yoga interventions, and refining the existing Yoga for CLBP intervention for the needs of active-duty military and persons with CNP. Phase 2 will recruit and randomize 50 military personnel with CLBP or CNP to either active hatha or restorative yoga. Pain interference, pain severity, physical function, opioid medication use, and mental health outcomes are of primary interest. Mechanisms will also be studied. The specific aims are as follows: Aim 1: Evaluate and navigate barriers and facilitators for obtaining IRB approval to conduct randomized controlled intervention studies with active-duty military personnel. Aim 2: Evaluate the acceptability of and preferences for yoga interventions among active-duty military personnel with CLBP/CNP. Aim 3: Refine and modify the existing Yoga for CLBP intervention to address CNP, and the needs of active-duty military personnel. Aim 4: Evaluate the feasibility of recruitment of active-duty military personnel with CLBP/CNP into a yoga RCT. Aim 5: Evaluate the adherence of this population to the two yoga interventions. Aim 6: Obtain effect size estimates to inform power analyses for a full-scale RCT. Accomplishing these aims will prepare us for an R01 proposal to study the efficacy of yoga for military personnel with CLBP/CNP in a full-scale randomized, controlled trial. To be successful and maximize the scientific knowledge obtained from an R01 study, it is crucial to first establish working relationships with military researchers, ensure that recruitment and randomized assignment are feasible, pilot test measurement strategies, and ensure that both interventions will be well-attended and have been optimally chosen. ;
