Study Summary

In this study, we are evaluating the effectiveness of a yoga intervention to treat posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), its associated symptoms of chronic pain and insomnia, and biological and physiological responses to trauma and PTSD in women Veterans who experienced military sexual trauma (MST). If effective, this yoga intervention could reduce PTSD symptoms and chronic pain, improve sleep quality, and decrease the body's automatic "fight or flight" stress response and the damage this stress response causes in the body, including heart disease and diabetes. This intervention could improve these women Veterans' quality of life and social functioning, for example, going to work and having satisfying relationships with family and friends. This study may support an innovative, complementary and alternative PTSD treatment for women Veterans who experienced MST. This new, evidence-based PTSD treatment could supplement current PTSD treatments. Clinical guidelines for this yoga intervention could be implemented nationally in the VA health care system.

Primary Outcome

Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 also known as CAPS-5 is the gold standard in PTSD assessment. The CAPS-5 is a structured interview that was used to assess current (past month) PTSD symptom severity. The CAPS-5 total symptom severity score is the sum of 20 items, each scored 0-4, to yield a score with a possible range of 0-80. Higher scores mean worse outcome.
