YOGA-CF (Yoga Outcomes Get Assessed in Cystic Fibrosis)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of yoga participation for adults with cystic fibrosis.
The main question it aims to answer is: does participation in yoga affect health-related quality of life for adults with cystic fibrosis?
Researchers will compare a group completing a 12-week yoga programme alongside usual cystic fibrosis care, to a group completing usual care alone to see if the addition of yoga effects health-related quality of life.
