This K01 Career Development Award from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), under the Federal Grant Program "Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health" (CFDA 93.213), will fund a pilot translational randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate a yoga intervention for individuals with persistent post-surgical pain (PPSP). The total funding amount is $135,654.00 with an award date of August 15, 2024 and an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2029.
The key objectives are to: 1) adapt a validated yoga program for individuals with PPSP, assess recruitment, retention, adherence, and acceptability, and evaluate the feasibility of collecting biological and clinical outcomes; and 2) explore the longitudinal relationship between the yoga intervention or an education control group on changes in PPSP-related inflammatory markers and other psychophysical and psychosocial modulators. This research aims to position the candidate to become an independent translational researcher studying mind-body movement therapies for chronic pain conditions linked to chronic inflammation, beginning with PPSP as a model.
