About this trial

This trial studies how well dyadic yoga intervention works in improving physical performance and quality of life in patients with stage I-IV non-small cell lung or esophageal cancer undergoing radiotherapy and their caregivers. Dyadic yoga intervention may help to improve physical function, fatigue, sleep difficulties, depressive symptoms, and overall quality of life for patients with non-small cell lung cancer and/or their caregivers.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Patient 6-minute walk test (6MWT)

Descriptive statistics for study variables and potential covariates will be computed and distribution characteristics of the variables will be examined. The difference between dyadic yoga (DY) and dyadic edication (DE) at 3 month follow-up (3MFU) will be tested at a two-sided .05 significance level.

Time frame
At 3 months post study

Secondary outcomes

1

Patient and caregiver quality of life (QOL)

Analyses will be similar to those for the primary outcome, except that we will use a dyadic model assuming additional dependence in outcomes between patient and caregiver outcomes.

Time frame
Up to 6 months post study
