Study protocol for a multicentre randomised controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of an online yoga intervention in high-grade glioma patients and their caregivers: the YINOTA-O-trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

High-grade glioma patients and their caregivers often suffer from distress and a lower quality of life. Results from studies with patients with mixed cancer entities suggest that yoga can be an effective support. However, it is unclear whether this also applies to high-grade glioma patients and their caregivers. This study aims to investigate the effects of mindfulness-based online yoga for patients and their caregivers on emotional distress, quality of life and stress-associated physiological parameters compared with a waiting control group (WCG).

Methods & analysis

The study is designed as a multicentre randomised controlled trial. Adult glioma patients (central nervous system WHO grades 3 and 4) and their caregivers will be recruited. Examined yoga instructor
