Clinical Trial Summary

This randomized clinical trial studies couples-based yoga program in improving quality of life in patients with high-grade glioma undergoing radiation therapy and their partners. A couple-based Hatha yoga program may improve fatigue, distress, sleep quality, and overall quality of life in patients with glioma and their partners.


Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Examine the feasibility of a couple-based and a caregiver yoga program in glioma patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT) and their partners. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Establish the initial efficacy of the yoga program in patients and their partners regarding quality of life (QOL) outcomes (i.e., fatigue, sleep disturbance, depressive symptoms, and overall QOL and health care utilization). EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. Explore potential moderation (e.g., baseline psychological distress, patients' tumor grade, performance status and class attendance) of the intervention effects. OUTLINE: The first five couples are assigned to arm I. All subsequent couples are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Patients and their partners attend up to 15, 45-60 minute sessions of Hatha yoga over the course of radiation therapy 5 times a week for 5-6 weeks. The program comprises four main components: joint loosening with breath synchronization; postures with deep relaxation techniques; breath energization with sound resonance; and meditation. At the fifth session, patients and their partners receive a digital video disc (DVD) and are encouraged to practice on their own (individually and/or together) on the days when they do not meet with the instructor. ARM II: Patients receive standard of care provided by the health care team and complete questionnaires before and after radiation therapy. ;
