Study Summary

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a major health problem for the nation's Veterans, leading to significant physical and mental health morbidity and mortality. Current empirically-supported interventions ameliorate symptoms but generally do not restore full functioning, so the development of alternative or complementary approaches is a critical need. Large numbers of Veterans are seeking out yoga as a part of their recovery plans, but there is not enough evidence to recommend yoga for treatment of PTSD. Likely reflecting this heterogeneity, evidence of yoga's efficacy is highly variable. This project aims to address this problem by comparing the effect of yoga to a matched exercise control condition. The study will also explore the mechanisms by which yoga impacts PTSD. Ultimately, the goal of this research would be to contribute to integrative care planning, whereby multiple approaches can be applied in a synergistic manner to restore wellness for Veterans affected by PTSD.
