Comparing Virtual Yoga to Standard Care on Insomnia Among Cancer Survivors

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This feasibility phase II randomized controlled trial examines the preliminary efficacy of our standardized four-week YOCAS©® (Yoga for Cancer Survivors) intervention that is delivered virtually on insomnia and sleep quality in cancer survivors. Insomnia can be described as excessive daytime napping, difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, or waking up earlier than desired. The vast majority of patients with cancer experience some form of sleep impairment post-treatment. Yoga is safe, feasible, and effective for improving insomnia and sleep quality in cancer survivors. However, most of the yoga intervention was delivered in person. With the challenges and the social distancing regulation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, adapting to virtual behavioral intervention is critically important and needed. Whether the yoga intervention delivered virtually to survivors provides a similar benefit of improving insomnia and sleep quality is unknown.

Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of virtual YOCAS©® intervention to standard care on changes in insomnia measured via the Insomnia Severity Index among cancer survivors SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of virtual YOCAS©® intervention to standard care on changes in sleep quality measured via the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index among cancer survivors OUTLINE: Cancer survivors are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Standard Care: Cancer survivors receive their standard care ARM II: YOCAS©® intervention: Cancer survivors participate in 8 virtual YOCAS sessions (75 minutes/session, 2 times a week for 4 weeks) delivered via the electronic platform (e.g., Zoom) ;
