Strength and awareness in action: Feasibility of a yoga-based intervention for post-acute mild TBI headaches among veterans.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a signature injury sustained by Veterans during recent conflicts. For some, mTBI/concussion is associated with disabling symptoms, including post-concussive headaches (PCH). However, there are limited evidence-based treatments for persistent PCH.

Objective

Investigators assessed the feasibility of design elements of a yoga-based interventional trial for PCH among Veterans, as well as the acceptability of the intervention.

Methods

This randomized controlled acceptability and feasibility trial was implemented using a waitlist-control design. Design elements of interest included: an exercise run-in class; recruitment and retention strategies; and, ecological momentary assessment (EMA) modalities to track headaches and yoga
