Comparing Virtual Yoga to Standard Care on Insomnia Among Cancer Survivors
NCT04458194 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This feasibility phase II randomized controlled trial examines the preliminary efficacy of our standardized four-week YOCAS©® (Yoga for Cancer Survivors) intervention that is delivered virtually on insomnia and sleep quality in cancer survivors. Insomnia can be described as excessive daytime napping, difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, or waking up earlier than desired. The vast majority of patients with cancer experience some form of sleep impairment post-treatment. Yoga is safe, feasible, and effective for improving insomnia and sleep quality in cancer survivors. However, most of the yoga intervention was delivered in person. With the challenges and the social distancing regulation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, adapting to virtual behavioral intervention is critically important and needed. Whether the yoga intervention delivered virtually to survivors provides a similar benefit of improving insomnia and sleep quality is unknown.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04458194
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04458194 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 42 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Rochester, which has 437 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Insomnia appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Standard Care is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04458194 reports 2 study locations spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New York. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
