Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of a telerehabilitation-yoga intervention delivered remotely via videoconferencing on adults with Parkinson's Disease and anxiety symptoms.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A single group intervention study of adults (18-80 years-old) with Parkinson's Disease and anxiety symptoms undergoing a 6-week intervention of 30-minute yoga classes delivered remotely through videoconferencing 2-3 times per week. Subjects with symptoms of anxiety as indicated by their score on the Parkinson's Anxiety Scale will complete yoga classes delivered at-home with videoconferencing, receiving one-on-one yoga instruction including breathing, postures, and meditation/relaxation for two-three times a week. Data collection will occur remotely via videoconferencing at 0-weeks, 6-weeks after a waiting period, 12-weeks after the intervention, and 6-weeks after the last lab visit. Data collection will include demographics, mental health questionnaires, motor assessments, enjoyment, usability, and follow-up yoga status. Each yoga session will be video recorded to aide in recording adherence, adverse events, and challenges.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Tele-yoga

This is a single group study, therefore all subjects will be included in this single arm and will undergo the same telerehabilitation yoga intervention delivered through videoconferencing.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Tele-yoga
