Summary

This study tests whether a chair-based yoga program is practical and acceptable for people with functional dyspepsia or gastroparesis—conditions that cause nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain. Ten adults will attend two one-hour yoga sessions and practice at home. Researchers will track how many people join, stick with it, and find it helpful, using surveys and interviews to guide future improvements.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

chair-based yoga sessions (gentle movements, breathing, meditation)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to manage nausea and vomiting for people with functional dyspepsia or gastroparesis.

What could go wrong

This is a very small early feasibility study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply widely. Yoga may not reduce symptoms for everyone.
