Detailed Description
Yoga is an ancient Indian science and way of life that includes the practice of specific postures, regulated breathing, and meditation. It is designed to bring balance and health to the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of the individual.
A recent systematic review of 17 studies published between the years 2011-2013 reported that most studies of yoga demonstrated positive changes in psychological or physiological outcomes related to stress. In addition, the practice of yoga also seems to be associated with moderate improvements in cognitive function , which in turn, may be expected to positively impact overall psychological well-being. These selected results provide a strong rationale to examine the effects of yoga for a range of health conditions, in addition to across various setting and by use of different delivery methods.
Much of the research on mindfulness has been in the area of anxiety and depression. Evidence suggests that mindfulness-based stress reduction, an intervention that teaches individuals to attend to the present moment in a nonjudgmental, accepting manner , can result in reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety .

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
PCL-5: 20 item checklist for symptoms of PTSD (PCL-5)
Time Frame: Accessing a change from pre, one month, six month and at one year
|
There are several different ways of interpreting the scores given by the PTSD Checklist-5.[5]
For a person to have a probable diagnosis of PTSD sufficient criteria must be at least moderately met in each of the four symptom groups.[1]
This means you need to have one or more symptoms from questions 1 to 5, either question 6 or 7, two or more from questions 8 to 14, and two or more from questions 15 to 20, each of which must be met moderately, quite a bit or extremely.[1]
In addition, a score of 38 or higher indicates probable PTSD in veterans.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
PSQI: 15-item Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
Time Frame: Accessing a change from pre, one month, six month and at one year
|
measures quality and patterns of sleep in adults.
It takes an estimated 3 to 6 minutes to complete.
A global PSQI score greater than 5 has yielded a diagnostic sensitivity of 89.6% and specificity of 86.5% (kappa = 0.75, p<0.001) in distinguishing good and poor sleepers.
Internal consistency reliability has been estimated to range from .77 to .81.

POQ: 20-item Pain Outcomes Questionnaire (POQ)
Time Frame: Accessing a change from pre, one month, six month and at one year
|
Short Form is a reliable and valid instrument that contains 19 primary pain items that are rated on an 11-point (0-10) Likert-type scale and one demographic question.
In addition to a total pain score, six subscale scores can be calculated that correspond to: pain intensity (1 item), pain-related impairment in mobility (4 items), pain-related impairment in performing activities of daily living (4 items), sense of impairment in activity and energy levels (3 items), dysphoric affect and associated symptoms (5 items), and pain-related fear and avoidance (2 items)
