NCT07790588

Brief Summary

The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to examine feasibility, acceptability, and direction of effect of a dyadic (child and parent) trauma-informed yoga intervention on stress symptoms and sleep in young children (age 3-6) after war. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Is the intervention feasible and liked by the participants?
  • Does the child-parent yoga intervention reduce the child's stress symptoms and improve their sleep?
  • Does the child-parent yoga intervention improve the child-parent relationship? Participants (child-parent dyads) will:
  • Children and parents will participate together in 8 weekly group yoga sessions.
  • Children and parents will engage together in a short daily at-home practice before bedtime.
  • Parents will complete online surveys before and after the 8-week program, and at one-month follow-up.
  • Parents will complete a daily practice-sleep log.

    8 weeks

  • Child's Sleep Quality

    The child's sleep quality will be assessed (parent-reported) using the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire Abbreviated (CSHQ). The 22-item scale yields a sum score ranging from 0 to 88, with higher scores indicating more severe sleep problems.
