RCT Trial Summary

This trial will compare yoga & a non-yoga exercise program in adults with brain injuries to measure balance & heartrate. It may also link those improvements to changes in brain function.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults who have had a brain injury at least 6 months ago and are experiencing moderate to severe balance issues. They must pass an MRI safety screening if they're willing to undergo brain scans, but can still participate in other parts of the study without MRI.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares two programs: yoga and a non-yoga low-impact exercise, focusing on their effects on balance and heart rate. It also looks at how these exercises might change brain function, setting the stage for future research.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves low-impact exercise and yoga, side effects may include muscle soreness or strain. However, because it's gentle activity designed for those with injuries, serious side effects are not expected.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

How many participants has this clinical trial enrolled thus far?

"Affirmative. According to the details on clinicaltrials.gov, this medical examination is currently recruiting patients. It was first advertised on January 30th 2023 and has since been amended on March 20th of the same year. 36 individuals must be acquired from a single site for the trial to commence."

Answered by AI

Is recruitment still active for this research endeavor?

"Affirmative. According to clinicaltrials.gov, this ongoing trial is searching for willing participants since it was first posted on January 30th 2023 and last updated March 20th of the same year. The research requires a total of 36 individuals across one centre."

Answered by AI

What positive improvement is this study hoping to bring about?

"The purpose of the study is to evaluate how Autonomic Nervous System Function, Working Memory Performance, Inhibitory Control and Cognitive Flexibility change from Baseline at two months. This will be measured through NIH Toolbox App assessments such as List Sorting Working Memory Test (with T-Score, age-scored standard score and national percentile conversion), Flanker Inhibitory Test (also with T-Score, age-scored standard score and national percentile conversion) and Dimensional Change Card Sort Test (again with corresponding conversions). Preceding the experiment are 2 - 3 weeks of yoga or exercise sessions while evaluations occur"
