Abstract

The primary objective is to investigate yoga for the treatment of chronic pain in veterans with Gulf War Illness (GWI). A secondary objective is to provide veterans with skills in yoga breathing, postures, and meditation that can be used to promote health and well being.One hundred (100) patients with GWI will be recruited and assigned with equal probability to one of two treatment groups: Yoga Treatment Group or a Pain Support control group. Through this reporting period, a total of twenty-five (n=25) veterans have enrolled into the study; the second study cohort of yoga and pain management (control) classes are currently in progress.
