Study Overview: Yogic Breathing Exercise for People With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Yogic Breathing Exercise for People With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis - FEvIR Platform
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the impact of a 6-week virtual yogic breathing exercise program (YBEP) on breathing, speech, and emotional well-being in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The effectiveness will be assessed by comparing participants against a waitlist control group.
Details
The study is designed as a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), recruiting 30 adults with ALS. It utilizes a 2x2 two-way factorial design with repeated measures at three time points: baseline, and immediately post-program. The primary hypothesis posits that ALS adults participating in YBEP will show improvement in breathing and emotional well-being compared to waitlist controls after the 6-week program. The study's purpose is Treatment, targeting Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. The data structure reflects the use of FHIR standards for research study management (e.g., status tracking, identifiers). This demonstrates how interoperability standards are applied to manage complex clinical trial data, which is crucial for integrating research findings into electronic health records and improving care pathways. The University of Alabama at Birmingham serves as the sponsor for this investigation.
