First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether pre-recorded yoga videos are as helpful as live online yoga classes for veterans with chronic pain. About 98 veterans will take part, first attending a 5-session primer, then practicing yoga for 12 weeks either on their own with videos or in a live VA class. Researchers will track changes in pain, mental health, and quality of life to see if the video option is a practical and effective alternative.
