Clinical Trial Summary

This study demonstrates the feasibility, acceptability of SKY program as an adjuvant therapy for American population suffering with OUD through a pilot program in Columbus, Ohio. The aim of this study is to evaluate the SKY program as an adjuvant therapy to treat opioid addiction.


Description:

This research proposal aims to test the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of SKY (Sudarshan Kriya Yoga) program, a mind-body intervention, as an adjuvant therapy for people suffering with opioid use disorder (OUD), in Columbus, Ohio. Previous research carried out in India in 2015, has demonstrated that SKY significantly improved the quality of life among people with OUD, however, the suitability, acceptability of SKY program has not been tested among American population. SKY differs from mindfulness and other meditation processes in that, it is a more physiological, rather than cognitive process. It involves controlled breathing techniques that can be easily mastered, and do not require mental effort. The investigator's goals are to a) DEMONSTRATE the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of SKY program as an adjuvant therapy for American population suffering with OUD. Studies will be carried out in OUD subjects at Mary Haven clinic in Columbus. The efficacy of SKY will be measured using psychometric questionnaires. Feasibility and acceptability will be measured by attendance and attrition.

Study Design


Intervention

Behavioral:
Sky Intervention
SKY meditation has three sequential components of breathing interspersed with normal breathing. These include a) sound breath: breathing against airway resistance with slight tightening of the laryngeal muscles, (2-3 cycles/min) followed by b) bellows breath: rapid, forced expiration(20-30 cycles/min) and c) regulated, rhythmical breathing rotating through medium to fast cycles. Each session is focused upon proper breathing techniques, social interaction, and discussion of practical wisdom for everyday life to manage the mind and emotions. SKY will be administered over a 5 day period (~3 hours/day), followed by 4 weekly follow-ups (~90 min session/week) at Signature Health clinic situated in Ashtabula, Ohio.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change in psychological health following the Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) therapy Change in psychological health will be measured using psychometric test administered to subjects at Signature Health clinic in Ashtabula, Ohio. The Pychometric test will involve completion of a Basic 24 Questionnaire: It is a leading behavioral health assessment tool which consists of 24 questions that cover depression and functioning. Before SKY intervention, 1 hour after intervention and 1 month after intervention
Primary Change in the number of participants that complete the Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) therapy To study the acceptability of the SKY program as an adjuvant therapy for American population suffering with mental disorders + opioid addiction, the attendance and attrition of the subjects at the Signature Health clinic in Ashtabula in the SKY therapy sessions will be recorded by keeping record of those that complete each progressive therapy session. Time 1 = initial therapy session, Time 2 = week 1 post therapy session, Time 3 = week 2 post therapy session Time 4 = week 3 post therapy session, Time 5 = week 4 post therapy session Time 6 = 30 minutes daily home practice for 30 days
