POP SINGER Randomized Clinical Trial

Conditions

Yoga — BEHAVIORAL
A registered yoga therapist will lead a total of sixteen (16) 60 minute classes over 8 weeks, plus guidance and resources for weekly home practice. Each yoga practice includes postural awareness, breathing practices, physical postures, moving sequences, progressive relaxation, and mental focusing. Philosophical concepts are introduced in each class, including non-harming, gratitude, and self-compassion. Physical practices include standing, seated, and optional floor-based poses that focus on building strength, mobility, and balance. For each practice, a range of options are provided for individuals to select according to their level of physical function and comfort. Props for adapting poses include yoga blocks, straps, blankets, and chairs. Practices are introduced slowly over the 8-week program to ensure safe execution and facilitate self-efficacy.
Music Therapy — BEHAVIORAL
A board-certified music therapist will provide a total of 16 MT sessions (8 in-person and 8 virtual) that include education, social connection, and experiential music interventions. These sessions will focus on self-management of pain through evidenced-based MT interventions including music sharing, playlists using the iso-principle, music making, music and guided imagery, music and deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and adapted cardio drumming.

Conduct a feasibility randomized controlled trial (N = 130, 65 per group) comparing the POPSINGER music therapy (MT) intervention to yoga.
