ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "EMDR Pre-treatment Yoga for Complex Trauma," is studying how yoga can help women who have experienced complex trauma, particularly related to childhood sexual abuse. The trial aims to see if yoga, which combines physical movements, breathing exercises, and mindfulness, can improve feelings of self-awareness, emotional control, and overall mental health in participants.

To be eligible for this study, women between the ages of 18 and 70 who meet specific criteria for Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) can participate. They must have a certain level of trauma-related symptoms and be able to give informed consent. Participants will engage in yoga sessions designed to help them cope with their trauma. It's important to note that this trial is currently recruiting and is focused on women only. Those with serious medical issues, neurological disorders, or who are pregnant are not eligible to participate. This is a chance for eligible women to explore a potentially healing practice in a supportive environment.
