Yoga as therapy: new study targets trauma in young women
NCT ID NCT07589777
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special yoga program designed for trauma survivors can reduce trauma symptoms, improve emotion control, and increase body awareness in young women aged 18-25. About 46 women with high trauma scores will be randomly assigned to either the yoga group or a control group. The goal is to see if this gentle, mindful movement practice can support emotional healing.
