Fatigue Clinical Trial - Feasibility Study of a Modified Yoga Program for

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a modified yoga program helps improve pain and function in elders age 65 years or older living in an assisted living community. Participation in regular physical activity, such as yoga, may improve strength and mobility and decrease pain. This study was developed to ascertain whether a modified yoga program improves pain and function in assisted-living elders, age 65 years and older.

Clinical Trial Description

Chronic pain is costly and debilitating, affecting an estimated 100 million Americans and costing about $600 billion a year in indirect and direct medical costs. Managing chronic pain is difficult, requiring an array of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic approaches to address not only pain, but relevant and intertwined domains of life such as sleep, energy, and mood. One such non-pharmacologic therapy is yoga. Systematic reviews of yoga clinical trials have shown that yoga is effective in managing low back and neck pain. However, these studies utilized younger populations, and no studies have characterized the effects of yoga for pain in the elderly. Given the rapidly growing aged population, the growing popularity of yoga, and the high prevalence of pain conditions among elderly individuals, studies that examine the effect of yoga on acute and chronic pain in the elderly are warranted. Thus the purpose of this proposal is to perform a pilot study to assess the feasibility and efficacy of yoga for managing chronic pain in elderly adults. This study will characterize whether such an intervention is feasible, assess whether a gentle yoga intervention improves subjective symptoms of pain, and investigate whether this yoga interventions decreases use of as needed pain relievers among elderly adults. This pilot study will characterize these effects in a sample of 60 elderly adults in at the United Methodist Retirement community in Chelsea, Michigan. The results of this study will be immediately translatable to members of this community in the short term, and nationwide in the long term. ;

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.
